That's just an EPA rating. I can beat those (in our area).

Also vote Cruze +1.

Hey Fen! When do we get the awesome Regal GS!? I can't stop driving that car (Vauxhaul Insignia VXR) on Forza 3. It's soooo much fun with the 2.8V6 Turbo AWD! I want one!

Just kidding. Very interesting car for a student or everyday beater.

or you could just do what i did and just get a Camaro :P i only paid 21500 for my 25,600 Camaro 1LT and i traded in my 2006 Scion TC that actually got LESS!! mpg... especially on the interstate... 3500 in 5th gear at 75was really crap for cruising and i averaged around 26 with a 2.4 4 cylinder. With my Camaro v6 i average 33 mpg at 60 in 6th gear and usually average around 26-27 at 74!! which is what i cruise at when i go back to where my folks live. i did do 2 things that helped me get more mileage and they are that i put in AMSOIL that gave me about 1-2 MPG just getting that new oil and i also upgraded to a K&N Typhoon intake which got me another 1-2 so instead of seeing 29 at 60 which is what i was seeing before i get 33 instead so you really can have your cake and eat it to so to speak.

Oh, a little less than a year now.

Probably won't have a V6, though. However, I have heard that the power ratings might be upped from what the show car was at.

it would look cool, if it actually looked like that lol and those of you who suggested buying a camaro, i built the one i want on chevy.com and it came out to 26g's. thats affordable but if i need another car right away then im going to need something thats a bit more affordable then that. lol and dont worry, i will eventually get a 2010 camaro. i love that car.
