According to our EcoModder Cd list, the 2006-2008 Honda Fit has a Cd of 0.35. Here's an image of the latest Honda Fit shaded profile overlaid on the Bolt EV:



I think the Chevy Bolt EV will be successful because it will get ~120MPGe and have a 200+ mile range. It will make the prices of all EV's with shorter ranges lower.

We will hopefully see EV's from Nissan and VW with much lower Cd's.
