Why is coefficient drag bad in S2000?

Hey guys...Iv heard this a lot, havent seen any comparisons to any other cars but why is it so bad in the s2k? It seems like it wouldnt be all that bad from design, seems like it would be decently aerodynamic.... Just curious. TIA

.38 with top up, .4 with top down...this is what i remember off the top of my head from another thread. it is relatively high because of its front windshield, but that's what you get with a roadster.
