2013 Mazda Mazda3 Reviews - Autoblog and New Car Test Drive

Quote:
The Mazda3 looks smooth, pretty and aerodynamic. The sedan boasts a smooth 0.27 coefficient of drag, while the five-door gets a 0.29 Cd, slippery for a hatchback.

Cars compared in wind tunnel - Fuel Economy, Hypermiling, EcoModding News and Forum - EcoModder.com
Quote:
Porsche 911 Carrera; 0.27


Tesla Model S - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:
The 2012 Tesla Model S Performance model has a 416 hp (310 kW) and 443 ft·lb (600 N·m) rear-mounted electric motor. The base model uses a 362 hp (270 kW) and 325 ft·lb (440 N·m) motor. According to Tesla Motors the electric car has a drag coefficient of Cd=0.24,[56] the lowest of any car in the market, except some models of the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class released following the Model S.
The lower the Cd typically the more beautiful the car, at least in the eyes of an aerodynamicist.

Widebody 911: I assume the green netting is to keep varmits away? I've not seen it before.

Playing around with my image to text/html script again...

Which looks better? Smaller text w/ more detail/precision, or the larger text for readability at the sacrifice of fine detail/precision?

is the goal for it to look good or readability?
If the user isn't meant to be able to read it, option 1 is the pick.
