I love that story.

I'm feeling a slight shift of buyer philosophies. Fuel economy is becoming more important than it's been, and the manufacturers are stirring their cauldrons to generate both power and economy. Perhaps down the road we'll see power take more of a back seat and economy will get more of a starring role like it did before.
