Unless things have drastically changed with the versa handling, you may find that department wanting.

Ford is an import now? Sonata and Optima are the only imports that don't offer a V6 in their mid-size car. Camry has one, Accord has one, Altima has one, Passat has one, Mazda 6 has one, In fact, GM is arguably one of the leaders in this trend from when the Regal debuted. Ford is an import now?

Actually the Mazda 6 loses it's V6 with the re-design for 2014 with the 2.5 as it's only offering for NA. So much for Zoom Zoom at Mazda with a deficit of over 80 HP compared to the Korean twins and cars like the V6 CamCord and Altima. GM can hardly be accused of following Mazda on this front when Mazda is 2+ years behind GM

+1 on the TDI

right near my grandmother.

What in the hell did they do to that Firetruck?

heck, if he gets it done, I'll stop by on a trip out there and do a story on it if he's willing.

+1 and nary a beige Camry to be seen

I'm not sure all the gains could be credited to the 9-speed. There will be engine improvements and better weight management as well.

I think "up to" $70k is not unexpected

Driven the same way, the Volt will post better numbers than the Cruze on the highway.... I know you know better than to just go by EPA rating.

The sport utility vehicle is right there in front GMT.... that light green Chevy Wagon. It's out skiing (see the ski racks on the roof?) and as a wagon, it has lots of utility! I'm surprised you couldn't see it.

clearly aiming for Baby Grand Cherokee

That kinda burns me.... interior aside, how hard would it have been for Chrysler to build the 200c concept as is? THAT car would have sold and would have been a premium vehicle to wear the Chrysler name. It would have allowed Chrysler to drop the lower end 300C and push transaction prices higher though volume would be lower.

bump. Any new ones?

It's not Mitt saying it now.

Happy Birthday snosage!
