most Kia's (like kia stlye and they seem decent inside, my bud has an Optima and it's super nice)

I'm sure there are more, but that's what I can think of.
Input above

I have to say, I'm liking the looks and specs of this car. Not sure what the wife would think, tho.

Can't stand this crap about the 2.0 in the Caddy. This is the same POS 2.0 I had in my HHR SS and the same one in the old Cobalt SS. The same ones they had tons of problems with. And the MPG isn't that great so don't get too excited.

They've come a long way since then and this 4 is a 272hp.
Still craptastic.

According to GM it isn't. This is a new third generation Ecotec, just released and only available in the ATS and Chevy Malibu so far. We'll see if it is any different.

From the turbo cars I've driven the mileage sucks if you use the boost. Turbo cars are great for the way the EPA tests though, easy driving not using much boost, so expect to see more of them as CAFE MPG requirements for fleets increase.

Nice. Looks like they lifted many design cues from the Bimmers.
