damn! this could be the perfect sedan! oh i suppose it might be pricey. The styling appears to be quite awesome! i absolutely love it from those glimpses though. I would 'big-O'/soil/fill my pants if they told me it had all wheel drive and a 370hp twin turbo direct injection DOHC v6 in it.

my prizm weighed as much as the fit but had btter times and more power (125hp) but yet was inadequate for all the types of driving I and most people do. 8.7=too slow It currently cute and trendy for the road to be sold now with little crackerboxes because gas went up so much last year. Go back 5-10 years ago when everyone decided they needed large SUV's. Now its just an SUV backlash + high gas prices. The small car thing is just a reaction to the SUV and high gas prices. No one really wants cars like this long term. Inevitably it will cycle around again and most folks will remember the middle (mid sized vehicles) is where they want to be. Real usable power on freeways and interstates, adequate passenger and cargo space, and long term durability and good crash safety. If anything in crackerboxes like this shows the need for more speed to avoid accidents.

7.3 0-60 and 37 mpg combined. numbers like that in a midsized car is the formula for a mass buying revolution. this could generate a future of mostly hybrid cars for the next 10-15 years.... and GM is still trying to cut costs with pushrods. it's gonna take 10 years for very many competitive hybrids to penetrate GM's lineup.

LOL....EXACTLY

the compass is such a p*ssy vehicle.

dude, there's a lot of truth to what your saying, but as long as the folks who have money to buy cars more frequently buy toyotas instead of ford or gm, then GM will have to resort to ruthless things and draw lines in the sand in order to compete and have a chance of winning customers back. the divide in society now here is that if you ARE somebody, you buy foreign. If you're NOT somebody.....then you are stuck buying an incentivized domestic. Its ok to buy korean, because its asian and you still get a deal. The divide is wider now so those that are NOT somebody can't even buy new cars anymore while German and Japanese lux and near lux and premium mainstream cars sell at increasing record numbers and prices. GM is forced into selling less advanced hardware in order to have a chance at hitting affordable prices. At some point, they must adjust their cost structures to allow them to not get behind in hardware, material quality and feature content. The public perception these people hold is 'why should i buy GM it is paying for someone's inflated labor contract, not what's going into MY car'.

no, that's CAM IN BLOCK. pushrods? WHAT A BUNCH OF FU.K-ING MORONS! WHO's the decision maker in detroit who's head is buried up the butt of 'we just don't get it!!!!!!!!' 270hp? no one cares if she's a moaner with armpit hair........ GM will NEVER 'GET IT' MORONS! no one will care about this car. OOOOO orange paint.....OOOOOOOOOOOO DUMB ASSES, show us a direct injection 3.6 vvt with 300hp and LTD slip diff. not pushrods.

its why we need to fire the annoying execs, managers, and beancounters that do this. if exhorbitant labor and benefits is the reason, then we need to remake the process to get rid of that too

they were just so so on the Yaris. They were all over the Fit, because it won because of its sporty handling basically. I get that mpg is a big part of these cars, but for example, on the Fit, another 30-40 hp would be nice to go with its sport handling. What's the point of good handling if you don't have power to go along with it? So if i lose 3 mpg in return for more fun and power, i can do that. BTW the 07 Camry Hybrid tested at 37mpg combine on Road and Tracks test and beats all of these crackerboxes.

0-60/5-60/qtrmile/0-100/observed trip mpg 1. Fit 8.7/9.6/16.7/31.1/35 2. Versa 9.4/10.1/17.0/30.7/28 3. Rio 9.9/10.5/17.3/37.0/30 4. Yaris 8.9/9.5/17.0/30.8/36 5. Accent 10.2/10.8/17.4/32.0/30 6. Caliber 9.7/10.4/17.4/30.6/28 7. Reno 8.7/9.6/16.9/33.1/28

1. Fit 2. Versa 3. Rio 4. Yaris 5. Accent 6. Caliber 7. Reno 07 Aveo was not available for test

an Ecotec Vibe would be a good answer, but by now its way too late.

not even 15 mpg with a v6?

small car, not a lot of space....only 23 mpg.....

from edmunds Current Odometer: 1,680 Best Fuel Economy: 26.6 mpg Worst Fuel Economy: 18.9 mpg Average Fuel Economy (over the life of the vehicle): 23.2 mpg NICE FUEL ECONOMY! :lol2:

Carol: Look at him, Elaine. How gorgeous is he? I ask you, how gorgeous? Elaine: (Looking at Ben) Pretty gorgeous. Ben: Elaine, you have children? Elaine: Me? Oh no, but I'd love to have a baby, I mean, I can't wait to have a baby. I'm just dyin' to have a baby. Ben: A beautiful woman like you should. You're quite breathtaking. Elaine: Breathtaking? I'm breathtaking? Carol: And he's very particular. Ben, you're staying tonight, right? Ben: Sure. (Elaine celebrates to herself as Jerry enters and quickly looks away from the baby)

i hate fake boobs and too many strippers have them. but i like what they do for a living. really cheers a man up. some of them are very sweet, but others are pretty fked up in the cabesa. has FEVER? say it ain't so, kenny! i hear kenny is quite the POON hound.......maybe he hits the strip bar from time to time also! "Hey, Gambler, you got an extra twenty?" "no son, I need to save it for the pitcher of MGD and a few games of pool.
