Anybody out there able to define drag coefficient?
All the cars with a low drag coefficient like to advertise
the fact, ie .34, .35 etc.

Well, this means something because Madza advertises it 
on the 626 but not on the GLC. The GLC gets better mileage 
around town but the 626 gets better mileage on the highway.
(According to Transport Canada anyway)

Also, what is a bad coefficient, which cars, I have heard
that the Porsche 928 is very poor.

Where can I get a complete listing for current cars?  
Also, when thinking about it, it would be interesting 
comparing these factors to older cars, late 60's early 70's.
