drag coefficients

Did anyone see a table of drag coefficients & frontal areas for various
cars and suvs anywhere? I was shocked to see it's .39 for Cayenne and am
very curious since then.

Regarding performance, a low drag coefficient and small frontal area are
more important for a light-weight car with a small engine than for a
heavy car with a very powerful engine.

While the same is not true concerning mileage, the majority of owners of
heavy cars with powerful engines don't seem to care much about fuel
consumption and/or emissions.
