INCREDIBLE free press for GM over the Volt.

"So... I got 98mpg on the way here... what did you get?"

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."

I'd take the Cruze before the Volt. It will probably get close to the same gas mileage as the Volt but half the price.
