Our 1975 Volvo 244DL had fuel injection and did 0-60 in about 15 seconds, top speed maybe 100 mph, weighed 3100 lbs, and got about 22mpg. My Element is also shaped like a brick, does 0-60 in ~8.5 sec, is speed limited to 108 mph, weighs 3500 lbs, is much safer than the Volvo, and gets 24-25 mpg. It is amazing to me how much better the Element does at all aspects.
