Putting the "A" in CdA - Examples

For the sake of scale studies, I invite you all to post vehicles of similar profiles but of differing masses, I get a kick out of it, especially when they hold the same number of occupants.

The original Mini and the modern SUV's are basically the same shapes at different scales, funny hey?

This sort of thing always amazed me in an artistic sort of way.

Back in 1983 I parked my 1976 short box Ford van next to a Renault 5 (Le Car) and took some photos, that was a funny experience.

If anyone has a graph or chart showing the relationship to Cd and CdA and where such measures intersect at an optimum, I'd appreciate it.
