Interesting looking beast...So thats what Buicks look like now..Hmmmm.. Pro,,what they got for power??V6?fwd??or RWD??

And I will be the cheeky one and say I thought it was a bred from our slit eye friends in China..... Great Wall.... but I'm glad I totally wrong on that.

It's a 4 banger with electric assist.
At first I was totally against electric assist. Just more stuff to go wrong for a couple miles to the gallon.
but
The 4 cyl with electric assist getting 36 MPG has a lower sticker price than the 6 cyl. getting 27MPG.
But. what swayed my opinion was the 8 year 100% warranty on any part of the electric assist.
I figure after 8 years we'll be ready for something else anyway so if they are going to stand behind it, we'll try it.
9MPG difference is pretty sizable. It's got pretty good power for a boat, electric assist kicks in on hard acceleration.
Heck I drive the car (& the truck) like an old man anyway, because I am one, so we don't need to rotate the earth.
If I ever get a hankerin' to go fast I'll finish the "Z" & go get speeding tickets with that.
