The car I'm really interested in seeing numbers on is the diesel Cruze. If they can get 42 MPG ratings from a gas, what does that mean for the diesel? And when does that come out, by the way?

You do realize a new Camry hybrid starts at $100 CHEAPER than a 13 malibu Eco, is rated for better MPG, and hits 60 MPH 1.5 seconds sooner. Another point of interest, Car and Driver tested an EAssist regal and it only 26 MPG average, given the base 4 cylinder only got 24, the bigger though is that they got 27 MPG from the turbo. I am sorry, but using Eassist in lieu of a full hybrid system is a joke.
