Yeah Neil,I know we talked up the Mercedes quite a bit.The forum has grown so large,its become a challenge to track down earlier discussions.At Cd 0.19,the boxfish hasn't quite hit Klemperer's target of Cd0.16 back in 1922.The upshot for the M-B is that it's "producible",and with Renault Vesta-II mecanicals,and same frontal area,we're looking at 146-mpg at 63-mph.Pretty sweet!
