What is lower rent on the Eco over a similar equipped Cruze?

BS, because of price overlap??? There's plenty of overlap, for ex, between the c- & e-class, and they are much closer in purpose than the CTS & XTS.... Or are you admitting that FWD vs. RWD just doesn't matter that much after all??? There is $9,985 between a C350 and E350. There is $2,905 between the ATS 3.6 and the XTS 3.6, and they have to squeeze the CTS in between those two. Actually, a 3.6 CTS is cheaper than a 3.6 ATS that is supposed to be below it. Has pricing been announced for the 2013 CTS? The current CTS is only on the market another year.

The XTS is a Saab 9-5 that GM had an extra 2.5 years to work on the interior with.

The Executive series appears to not be out quite yet, but the main feature was the way the interior was trimmed. It comes with nicer leather and wood with actual grain and texture. It is the automotive old school country club with 200 year old wood and leather furniture.

While only rated at 30ish mpg with the V6, on the highway, it will do much better than that.

I liked the executive edition and I'd go for the V6/8spd

So... the Dodge Intrepid is coming back?

With the Cruze Eco, the only way to go with with the 6-speed manual

Go directly to the Smithsonian, do not pass go, do not collect $175,000.

Well that's what it looks like.

I'm going to go ahead and say this will have predator mouth.

Passat?

I think it would do really well.

Chrysler 300? Dodge Charger? Hyundai Azera? Even the Honda Accord. It's grown so much that when ordered without a sunroof, it is technically a full sized car based on volume. I think what has changed are the definitions of "full size". The Fusion is a mid-size car, yet it has the same exterior dimensions as the original Taurus... which is considered full size by today's standards.

The Turbo V6 will be here very shortly.

Well, I'm currently editing my first review with a vehicle that I was disappointed in.. Do want to say which one it is? I'm thinking it is the same vehicle you're working on.

I have to write my first scathing review of a new vehicle. I'm not sure I want to.

It's not really going to be a Mini much longer...

This was one of the most obvious, needs to be produced Concepts, yet at the same time the most ignored at the show.

People have to keep working for their income... imagine that....

June 25, 2011 is the date it originally sold. Check out the CarFax report, it has a fishy beginning (sold new at Criswell Honda? Unless that's a combo Chevy/Honda dealer): http://www.carfax.co...1MK5E29BL527101 It's Criswell Chevrolet Honda Nissan Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Maserati Fiat Isuzu GEM Look at this entry: 04/02/2012 13,295 Auto Auction Eastern Region Listed as a manufacturer vehicle Press car I wonder.

So.... VW is the new GM.

what is the date of the original sale? could have gotten in before the crackdown.

ugh at the wheels.... but otherwise thumbs up. The 4.9 is no speed demon, but they'll run for just about ever if you take care of it... and smooth too.
