'Cd 0.197'

https://www.whichcar.com.au/news/202...-for-australiaThe greencarreports.com website is attributing Cd 0.197 to the new Prius, down from 0.24, delta-Cd 0.05, 50-counts, a 17.916% drag reduction ( Cd-wise ).
The car's supposed to be 2-inches lower.
Don't know about frontal area and CdA.
So they've caught up with the 1996 EV1, and just short of the 1990 Cd 0.196 ROVOMOBIL cardboard and duct tape special, and Cd 0.195, 1978 Daimler-Benz' M-B C-111 III ( M-H ).
Glad to see it!
