These figures look suspect to me ... according to the only ones I've found,
the 1.8L 100 in euro trim was .30-.31 and that had tires that were narrower
still than the 185/70s used here in the U.S.  I don't think the big bumpers
on the U.S.-spec cars helped much, either.

BTW, I've also seen cd figures for the Ur-Q at .36 and the factory brochure
for my '85 4k claims .41 and .42 for the 4kq ... frontal area is 20.1 ft/sq
if you want to crunch some numbers and have some fun!
