i just crunched the numbers on the holdon commodore on holdens website. The 3.0 v6 is rated for 26mpg and the 3.6L V6 is rated at around 24 mpg. Im not sure if those are highway city (i'd assume highway) but those numbers aren't really terrible. And the V8 does 19mpg

One thing i do like about GM's newer cars is they seem to have better interior quality. My mom's 2009 HHR is terribly cheap. Everything inside is all plastic, dash and all. Newer cars i notice atleast have stiched leather dashs and look a bit nicer.

I agree...a 2 door coupe would be a nice addition to the lineup.

I'm not happy with a lot of the decisions that GM has made in the last few years either, but when the U.S. Treasury, Canada and Ontario make up almost 75% of the ownership you really can't expect them to give the people what they want.

Actually, it's a good thing. If everyone drives electric cars gas prices will go down... right?
