True. However, it is kind of absurd to think of the mk1 rabbit @ .42, isn't it? The fact is, most of us don't drive older cars, and therefore, their respective .Cds typically aren't acknowledged.

This makes me feel a little better about my new beetle.

The same Rabbit,with the slope of the rear hatch pushed up to the 'Template' line scored Cd 0.34,a bit better than the New Beetle.

One point in the Mk 1's favour was the vehicle was quite small.
Still not brilliant on the aero numbers but not as bad as it might have been.

And if you've a mind, Electromotive has the Voltsrabbit kits for easy installation Always wanted to do one; after I get my upgrade to RN and have more money it's on the short list...
