Well, a standard-issue brick has a Cd of 1.00, so the xB is probably not too far off...

I don't have an answer but I think the xA has a rather good drag coefficient and aerodynamics...

At least 2 or 3 times a day while I am on the highway I notice items flying through the air (bugs, paper, small debris, etc...) that seem to be heading straight at the windshield then just fly up and over my car...

Who knows? A wind tunnel would definately help but I hear they are expensive to run...
