It would be very interesting to have the Insight and the CLA tested in the same wind tunnel.
really.......

do you also believe that the oil companies squashed a carb that got 99mpg???????

Here is something to think about.
Some other german car maker w/ a big windtunnel (bmw maybe) has some engineer come in and say "mb is blowing smoke on the .23 cd......let's go buy one, run the test and then expose them!!"
2 days later MB is retracting and firing.
Loses MASSIVE credibility in the marketplace.........

just sayin......
