It's that goddamn hood bulge that caused a lot of that bump up in the Cd, isn't it...

But that should be somewhat compensated by a lower ground clearance and smaller side rearview mirrors I suppose.

Force due to drag is not dependent on ground clearance. It's how much Area is pushing thru the air. Supposing that front and rear height are the same, than only frontal area will matter.

However, Ground clearance will minimize the lift due to high pressure under the car.

Default They are all fast!

Who cares....unless you are drag racing. They are all very quick, and as cars are used for daily driving 99.9% of the time these differences are academic at best. A more real world comparison would be acceleration times between 30-50 and 50-70. These tend to represent passing conditions and playing on on ramps...is this not so?

According to the latest issue of Car News, a Taiwanese magazine, with an undisclosed source, the official 0-100km/h (0-62mph) time will be 4.7 secs.
