Mod for interior airflow?

Question for the aerodynamics experts: I've been reading arguments about windows down vs A/C, and just had a thought. You have a high pressure area somewhere at the front of the car, and a low pressure area at the rear. Suppose you take some - potentially a lot more than current vents supply - air from the front, and direct it through the car. You get the same cooling effect as rolling down the windows (if not a good deal more), some "wind in your face" effect a la convertible, no frigid breeze as with A/C... and it seems you'd actually reduce overall drag.

Make sense? Or am I missing something?
