Forget the Volt -- This is the Car That Must Save GM - Motor Trend

What's needed is a unit with diesel-like torque, but free-spinning gas engine refinement. And with any luck it's coming: in the U.S.-market Cruze the engine will be a downsized 1.4L gas turbo with direct-injection. We await it keenly, especially as GM is promising city gas mileage in the high 30mpg range.


PRice $16,000 - $21,000 (UK price), wheelbase 105.7 in.

1. A car that gets 30 mpg in still a toxic waste generating machine, although our car CULTists
here, all of whom are bourgeois brats who couldn't care less about the state of the entire planetary atmosphere couldn't care less about that and are in general incapable of grasping as much.

They greenwash cars all day long endlessly without even the remotest sense of the destruction wrought.

2. So, I suppose you feel the same way about the very green Yukon Hybrid???
:evilgrin:

BTW, a new car dealer admitted to me that the Yukon Hybrid was a big POS.
