It looks good in Blue. No question. Very good in Blue. Wish they were out now. Really would like a test drive. The old Storm was fast, fun, and not bad( a lot of people do not care for it's looks, these days, when I mention it, but the one we tested was great...we were burned on our Isuzu-built 1987 "Chevy" Spectrum,so we did not get the Storm). Hoping this brings more of the same type of fun, decent MPG, prices, etc...but updated(and way better built, in general).Rumors have a sedan on the way(?)...next year? For us, 3 doors = more versatility to haul stuff( only need room for 2 people , for us). If the 167..3 inches total length is true, a tiny bit short for me, but... I drove a Spectrum, and then a Sentra( about similar length, nearly 14 feet, also) for years, up to 1999. I wish they were more up front , though, with the exact launch date, or at least a given month, vs saying"Fall",or late 4th qtr, or whatever. tc/no. |

Replying to: rockylee (Apr 24, 2007 9:16 pm) Wonder what MPG is on this(have not heard yet)? Should be what, 32-34MPG, at least(automatic)? yes... that would be interesting! Anything that is sporty designed,handling, and gets 40-50MPG, that is really interesting! That is one way to get people to take (even more) notice of your product, especially these past few years, of $2.50-3.50 per gallon! Have a good one. tc/no

Replying to: bumpy (Apr 25, 2007 7:10 am) Yeah, you are correct once again but I believe the 2-Mode will go into cars as well as capacity increases. Remember they are sharing this technology with Chrysler, and BMW. Rocky |
