The company now rolls out a model that splits the difference between that existing subcompact crossover, and its compact crossover cousin (CX-5). Logically, you would think that such an offering would be called the CX-4. I’ve read that Mazda elected not to do so because a CX-4 model already exists – in China. As an observer of the car scene for decades, I’d say that, by and large, nobody cares what cars are called in other markets. So, while CX-4 would’ve made sense here, CX-30 it is.

  • Aerodynamics of Road Vehicles
    10 Aerodynamics of Road Vehicles THOMAS MOREL I. INTRODUCTION Vehicle aerodynamics concerns the effects arising due to motion of the vehicle through, or relative to, the air. Its importance to road vehicles became apparent when they started to achieve higher speeds. The automobile as we know it came onto the scene in the last decade of the nineteenth century. Its beginnings roughly coincided with the advent of powered flight, and perhaps for this reason, it became of interest to aerodynamicists right from the start. One of the first attempts to apply aerodynamic principles to road vehicles was the streamlining given to the first holder of the land speed record, a car named Jantaud driven by Gaston Chaseloup-Laubat (Fig. 1). This vehicle held the record several times, culminating with 93 kmIhr (58 mph) achieved in 1899. The early interest in vehicle drag continued and an early paper published in 1922 by Klemperet1) (apparently the very first paper on the subject) already reported actual wind tunnel studies on several then current automobile shapes and also on one low-drag shape. The work was done in the wind tunnel of the Zeppelin Company which was involved in the development and construction of dirigibles. The influence of dirigibles showed in the shape of the low-drag model, which had a streamlined teardrop shape and no wheels. The drag coefficient of this model was 0.15, and it is interesting to note that this value is still among the lowest obtained for a vehicle-shaped body near the ground. The thrust of the original work during the first few decades of the twentieth century was toward the reduction of drag to increase the top speed of road vehicles.
