haha marketing...
When you think about it, car makers touting Cd without mentioning total frontal area is almost a meaningless index for the consumer's purposes. What consumers really need is a new index that combines the two numbers that more directly relates to total drag at say, 65mph (or pick a speed). I don't ever recall seeing total frontal area stats for a given model unless I dig, deep.
Still, a good direction to be headed if you sell cars for a living. Large firm selling tested crashworthy car that get great FE... what a concept! But will the general population buy or rent them?
