You can go on wishing for unicorns to become real. Or...you can be happy we have horses and look for the best horse possible.
Hucho published that Cd 0.09 was technically feasible as of 1986. What a carmaker builds depends upon the technical specification of the committee which has oversight and authority over such decisions.
You may be entirely correct in what is decided, however it would not be driven by aerodynamic considerations. Those are for a different thread.
