Good CD? I doubt its even got a wax disc gramophone. But it does have
a CVT (according to Toyota but what do they know)

CD. Coefficient of Drag (in air). The lower the figure, (in theory) the
better the efficiency at speed. A low powered vehicle like the Prius
desperately needs a good one to make a respectable speed. That's why it's
so ugly.
