The Leaf is just pathetic. Aero efficiency is most important on a car that doesn't go very far and takes a long time to "refuel". Plus, with an all electric drive-train, the shape can easily be made efficient since components can be located anywhere and don't generate much heat.

Thanks redpoint5, I really glossed over this fact. What kind of Cd do you think a prius with a closed off grill, no exhaust, and a flatter underside would get?
