All the marketing in the world couldn't get me to buy any of those cars.

Cruze gets 42mpg w/ a 1.4L Turbo.. Nice ride on the test drive. Gonna test drive the Sonic to see if it's a good commuter car.. Should be around 42 mpg for like $14k.


Fiesta looks weird & sub mpg in their class, but sells really well everywhere..

Never liked focusses(s) but they look better and I see a lot of them.

Mom has a Dodge Caliber, been pretty good for a year and is kinda useful.

The cruze, while better than the cobalt, still looks like cheap poop. Can't see why you would buy it over the fiesta or focus, which have by HUGE leaps in looks. Let's not even add in the gm lawsuit thread derf linked & how they tried to screw me over. F gm.

The jeep gc is ok, has a GREAT ad campaign, but lacks any real distinct change from past years. Further, just like the $35k chopper craze is done, so is the suv craze.

That regal pictured is not the good one. Their supercharged version is howt.

The focus is nice and is about $5k more than the fiesta for a slightly larger version. Perhaps that is "right on". Idk.

A caliper? Really? Its sucked from day one.

Malibu? Idk. I don't understand the current similarities from that to the impalla. They need to separate the 2 models. The "new" malibu doesn't look any different than previous. It also further pushes the same lame chevy look. The double grill with center bow tie look is being way way way over used.

isint the regal a turbo?

the herd doesnt want to drive, the herd hates cars. the herd wants a sensory deprivation chamber that has all the connections of home and doesnt guilt them with supposed environmental destruction. the herd thinks the only cars worth a fuck have roundels, arrows, or L's on the hood.

Dave it may be turbo... I don't remember.

What I don't understand, is how they could keep the Volt out of that list. I mean the battery assembly plant is 10 mins from my house and the car's assembly is 20mins from home. Further, it's a car that can change the game for the Big US 3.

Volt left out of list because of cost per unit and competition ( I would imagine)
