so, now, think of this: what if mistu started selling a 5th gen eclipse in 2 years that weighed 2850 lbs dry curb weight and was a 3 or 5 door hatchback and it was about the size of a scirocco. It would have a 175hp, 1.7L turbocharged and I/C'd engine and standard AWD. the cost would be $23,000. ammenities would be sparse, but opional.

how many of you would buy it, given the means?

(also it would get 30 mpg in town, driven economically, and at least 35mpg on the hwy)

i'd probably buy it.

and i noticed in that article, he says it gets worse milage than suv's. yeah right, when you average what you get with an excursion, it would be WAY worse than that ecripse. 10mpg if you're lucky, i bet.

i liked reading that though.
