40 MPG Chevy Cruze Eco to Start at About $19,000 (ObamaCar)
gas2.0 ^ | June 4, 2010 | Nick Chambers

Posted on 06/04/2010 12:02:37 PM PDT by C19fan

When they unveiled their plans to build a 40 mpg “Eco” version of their upcoming Chevy Cruze at the New York Auto Show last April, GM claimed that the Cruze Eco would have the fuel economy of a hybrid at a much lower price. Today GM put an actual number on what a much lower price means: a starting price of $18,995 for the base Cruze Eco when it goes on sale later this year.

Whether that is really a much lower price than the hybrid competition is a whole ‘nother thing entirely.

Actually it looks pretty normal, I think it could be a big seller.

I don’t understand why we don’t use more diesel technology.

I have a diesel pickup that dynos 450RWHP (after some mods), weighs 6,500 pounds, runs a 1/4 in 13 seconds and gets 25-26MPG (empty) on the highway.

There is no reason a 4 cylinder turbo diesel sedan couldn’t get 50-60MPG. You can make biodiesel from about anything from peanuts to algae poop.

You can get a Subaru wagon for about the same price ...

Seats 5, gets 26-28 mpg city/32-34 mpg highway, PLUS you have a lot of room for hauling stuff around ...

Subaru is the better deal ...

If you saw the car with the logos covered like this prototype could you tell what it was? Hyundai? Kia? Saturn? Chevy? Fiat?

What are even better deals (IMO) now are Toyota's, thanks to the Obama PR campaign.

my ‘96 Passat TDI Wagon (46-50 Hwy, 40 City) will turn 300,000 miles in about 3 weeks. Big Party planned at my mechanic’s shop - we will apply flame decals to the car’s flanks while playing its theme song, “Born to Be Wild.”

Our “new” car, an ‘02 TDI Golf is just getting broken in at 137,000 miles, with similar fuel economy.

Now, if VW would only bring over a manual transmission TDI “CC” sedan.....

Looks like crap for 19k, if it cost 12k base price, I would consider it if it wasn’t made by Government Motors.

I'll walk first.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

It’s not surprising that a conventional auto could have “hybrid like” numbers.

The whole “hybrid” gig is just a hoax. About like H1N1 or AGW.
