As someone who moved from an SUV to a compact sedan I do miss the comfort (space) and the power. The mileage however is very different. Good thing I do not usually haul a lot of stuff.

This is good news. If I had the money it would be a tough call. All of these cars seem to be excellent cars. Hopefully this was a really fair competition. It proves the American companies are trying hard.

Sean,

do you know how much it costs? That is a lot of powerballs...

Correct dagaz. MacPro. My PowerMac is still lonely running Leopard. But it still runs great!

I can say that in our PowerMac and our MacBook it seems faster. It seems much faster on the PowerMac where applications spring to life faster and functionality also seems faster.

I would like to have a similar system on the PS3 but I guess that will not happen now. Oh well...

Beautiful car. Hopefully GM will soon get out of the claws of the US government and become a viable company again.

I agree Erik. This power grab by the federal government needs to stop. I am not against these laws but as you stated it is a local matter. When I heard about it on TV I really thought to myself, is this not a Republic? We do not even have the same speeding laws in the country and now we will have federal "attention" mandates?

Excellent move. Make mine with the 2.4 liter engine and the six-speed auto. Or better the 2.0 liter turbo with the six-speed engine. :-)

The CEO may have a point. Given the best sellers in the US are not small cars but rather mid-sized cars it may be difficult to justify the expenditure of making the vehicle adapted to US standards. Bear in mind that he did not rule out ever having it in the US. The operative word being current US market. When things change then it could be a viable option.
