* With active suspension and Fachsenfeld's extensible tail from 1935, any Cd 0.20 car might be coaxed down to sub- 0.14.
* Wolf Heinrich Hucho mentioned in 1986 that, we already had the technical feasibility for Cd 0.09.
* To fast-track electrification of transportation, these lower highway Cds would really help extending battery range and market penetration.
