This is too true. My Escort ZX2 (which has ties to the MX-3 and other Mazdas), Cd sits at 0.269 as of Spring 2015. This is down from 0.33 Cd starting out bone stock, a 18.48% reduction is drag!
With future optimization planned, I think the ZX2 can achieve Cd 0.24x before I get to work on the boat tail.
