News: Cobalt XFE sales 2x more popular than estimated, more XFE models coming

From ABG:

Not surprisingly, buyers are loving the new Cobalt XFE, tweaked to get 36 mpg highway. Sales make up 8% of all Cobalts (they were expecting 2-3%).

Quote:
GM says it took just eighteen months to make this new version a reality, and rumors indicate there could be more XFEs on the way.

Perhaps the best news of all is that other automakers are observing the success Chevy has had with the XFE, and the concept is spreading across from GM to both Ford and Chrysler.
Aveo XFE, anyone??
