Rather get a Honda Civic for 25% less.

[Colvin]

my saturn beats that, but it was made by the wrong union

[GeronL]

How much government susbidy does it get?

[prophetic]

of course its made by our taxpayer stimulus money to make it appear inexpensive.

[Las Vegas Ron]

20k for that little pos?

I’ll keep my 30+ mpg Firebird.

[BenLurkin]

Just don’t swerve to miss a baby duck....

[cumbo78]

I’ll take ANY VW TDI and get high 40’s low 50’s with the manual transmission.

[Grunthor]

A) THe price looks doable

B) How stupid does this car look?

[Grunthor]

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

[Frantzie]

I wonder how much Opel is in there?

[IamConservative]

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.

[Mr. Blonde]

Looks like your average car on the road to me.

[Lmo56]

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 ...

[Travis T. OJustice]

Ridiculous emissions standrads are killing diesel, hence us.

[Pan_Yan]

If you saw the car with the logos covered like this prototype could you tell what it was? Hyundai? Kia? Saturn? Chevy? Fiat?
Meet the all new 2010 Genericar.

[Rational Thought]

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

[paterfamilias]

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.....

[dila813]

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

[The Comedian]

I'll walk first.

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

[Pessimist]

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.
