The new prius is not being sold in the uk at all. Most users here are keeping the old ones. £4-10k a pop
Hucho places the cabriolet Karmann-Ghia 'economy car', with top up, at Cd 0.38.
The 1965 Porsche 911 'sport car', of same frontal area was Cd 0.4239, according to Dr. Hermann Burst, Porsche's chief aerodynamicist.
Horsepower for horsepower, the Karmann-Ghia would out-perform the 911 in certain comparisons ( top speed, fuel economy ).
This might be an exception that proves the rule.
