good to hear, 'cuz my '73 bus was murder in crosswinds.
Volkswagen Vanagon Cd= 0.44 Frontal Area = 32.9 ft2
Renault 5 Turbo 0.46 20.4 (respectively)
BMW 3-series 0.47 19.6 (respectively)
928, Cd = 0.44
- these are 1980s data
Cd, bullet = 0.25
so for that particular figure of merit the Vanagon is not so bad
a Westy will be worse for Cd, and surely worse for Fr. area
