General Motors | Featured News | GM.com ...and, it's been de-tuned, from 160HP down to 148HP, due to stricter EPA requirements (ugh) !!! |

Finally something to compete with VW. This may be my next vehicle in 6 years.
Will the car still run properly if the urea tank is empty? |
A very complicated pice of machinery. Oilcooler for the turbo oil, intercooler, ERG system, Urea injection, ordinary turbo, direct injection etc....
A lot of hi-tec parts. Nice milage, but it comes at a price of a highly complicated engine. Can't help thinking a lot of stuff that can fail? |

What's all the hype? My old Saturn gets better than 42 mpg on gasoline.

So let me get this straight:
$5000 more than the ECO $1600 more than a Jetta TDI No manual transmission option 300LB heavier than the ECO Same fuel economy as the ECO Burns expensive diesel fuel Who is going to buy this? |
On the one hand I'm glad to see another diesel small car. On the other hand I'm very disappointed at the specifications... A VW is an already proven platform and would be a better choice as it is now... plus you can get a real transmission (manual) with a VW.
I would bet that the diesel isn't going to be an "option" per say... but more likely an high end trim package which pretty much makes means manual won't be an option. |
