GM continues to say one thing and do another. If they were truly obsessed with aero, they shouldn't have chopped the front and rear overhangs. There's a reason Bonneville streamliners look the way they do.
That said, and with all due respect to Kirk Bennion, at some point, styling has to come into play or all cars will look alike.

To me there is a difference between C/D and Aerodynamics. At high speeds the Hardtop design gets down right squirrelly compared to the Coupe. Why do you think John Lingenfelter chose the Coupe when he made his 226 MPH run?
