Slap that template on this one. The mid 2000s ( 2003 - 2005 ) Lexus LS-430.
The car has a
point two five drag coefficient with the optional air suspension.
"
The body was also more aerodynamic than previous LS sedans (Cd 0.26; 0.25 with air suspension),[76] and was the product of wind tunnel testing at facilities used for Shinkansen bullet train development.["

Just because a car does not meet the template, does not mean it is that is is not low drag.
Worst case scenario is that the .25 Cd is off by about 5 counts - which is huge. Even if it were that high, just look at the angle of the rear glass on the Lexus.
I'd love to see how they did it !
BTW, My neighbor just bought a used one. I was just outside talking to him about the aerodynamics of the car ( The arrow what ???? huh
)
If any of you would like some images of the cars aero features up close, let me know, and I will post some pictures.
The Aerocivic may or may not have a .17 Cd, but I applaud it's creator for following through with it.
