Good thread going here.
I am also in the "not impressed" camp. My 84 SVO Mustang can cruise out nice fuel mileage in the low 30's, when I'm not spooling the turbo for fun. It will haul ass or sip gas, but not both, lol.
I cannot seeing paying the high price of the "eco" car until it bangs out impressive numbers. What I see on here from some of the older cars getting decent mileage makes me want to pay used prices to save money, then save at the pump. The other thing is the longevity of the new tech. Until it is proven, let others pay to be guinea pigs.
Power? I ran a low 10-sec 86 Mustang GT for years. Nothing will impress me now in that department, so I'm ok with slower and drive-able. My current car is a 92 Volvo Turbo wagon which gets 20-ish. I want 35+ out of the box and then search for more.
