FWIW, we don't know what the drag numbers are on this car, since Honda stopped publishing those some years ago. In their press material for the 2016 Civic, they claimed "12% reduction in drag" from the 2015 model, but didn't specify trim, coupe or sedan, or what. I expect that probably references the sedan, and I would bet this Insight is slightly better than the regular Civic. But, again, their press kit doesn't give us any numbers--the only drag coefficient quoted in there is the first gen Insight!

It would be interesting to get one of these, a 2010, and a 2000 in a rolling-road tunnel.
