Correct, for a minute I was thinking in terms of CdA, which now makes me very suspicious of the Escort's low Cd number.
Although I'll admit the Escort must have a low CdA number compared to most of the cars on the road today based on it's size alone.
Maybe the author of the article made the same mistake? That would not account for the published Cd numbers though.
Mystery.
