Stat for stat, it doesn't compare to the 2005 V6 Stang. Also, it's ugly.

Well it has a 13 gallon tank in it..I bet about 28?

I have a 12 gallon in my alero and I get 300 miles per tank. BUT it has a v6 in it and I treat it like a sports car.

If I had to drive another chevy, which due to the orange stuff I don't wanna..

I would get a Junya Signature series Monte Carlo SS. Those are SWEET! I posted the article in general car chat..

not bad for a economy car, the coupe starts at only 14,000. I think 21,995 is to much for the supercharged version.

No way, it's gotta be a 4-banger.

And, the Mazda 3 is much better looking inside and out, IMO.

The looker of the family is the coupe, with its smartly curved rear glass and cute butt punctuated by four round taillights. The standard engine for both is a 140-hp, 2.2-liter Ecotec four. Opting for the SS version gets a bored-and-stroked Ecotec with variable cam timing, giving 170 horses from 2.4 liters. It would have been cheaper to use the same balance shafts in both engines, at a small sacrifice in smoothness. But, no, that’s not the Lutz way.

Deal Killer..

I read the first post and said WHAT, 2 Cylinder. I then went trogging........

There is one bonus, the 2.0l supercharged version puts out 205hp and 200 lb / ft. That is enough to go up against imports of the same value. I assume that is the market they are looking to steal from, not proper cars!

The 2.0l would be killer over here, Ford's 2.5l V6 only makes 220hp, and costs $40k, see what I mean??
