The Hatchback slips through the air with an impressive 0.31 coefficient of drag ( the VX model slightly better owing to a small underbelly fairing ) , while the Sedan posts 0.32."

Other cars usually are better in coupe form.
And in the case of the EP3 I'm not really sure. I never found an authentic cd rating and the Kammback design seems to further cloud the issue (bad pic):
