I hope you guys are right, but I doubt it would .29, because if it is Acura would be boasting the .29Cd like they did for ths TSX and Accord coupe. This is even better the the BMW's. Sames as es 330. I think the G35 is also .29

What's the difference? Is that going to help you decide in buying the TL?

Why are you planning to draft behind Gordon or Jr. at Daytona next year?

No, but the the Cd plays an important role in keeping wind noise at a minimum. I mean how can you carry a luxury nameplate that is not well engineered. Look at all the luxury nameplates, excluding SUV's most of them have a Cd of .31 or below.

Remember the Acura slogan "Precision Crafted Performance". This is what its all about.


The drag Cd is not the deciding factor for this case, but I am just curious as to where Acura stands.

The difference is that it is an engineering feat. To make a car look good and slip through the wind.
