The stop start feature is the 'Con' because people will switch it off and as we discussed previously it fudges the Co2 rating, but the other features make good sense.
Without wanting to make this a rant thread there is a valid comment to be made in this.
The suspension has been lowered by ten millimetres, thereby exposing a smaller frontal area to the airstream.
Taller vehicles, eg. 4x4 and mpv have a larger frontal area due to their height.
I've been thinking about the radiator grille blind, might try it.
Oh..I can feel the flames now....

I'm not actually pumping up the pressure in my flame thrower but you've raised some points about aerodynamic efficiency that are worth debating. Rather than taking over this thread in the news section, how about starting one in "General Discussion".
