The second gen cruze TD is due out soonish. |
But can you get a Cruze TD in SoCal?

A guy at work drives one and loves it... I like the look of the Fusion better.

Why yes, yes I am
my Hyundai Elantra drove like a Cadillac compared to this thing.
The first ten miles of my commute is 60-75 MPH, the second half is 5-20 MPH, the on board computer says my average MPH is 26. With a 1600cc motor just trying to keep up with traffic often involves putting the pedal to the floor.
To those of you who say it "isn't so bad" I challenge you to rent a Versa for a couple days and report back what you think of the vehicle.
I guess what I am really looking for is comparable gas mileage in something that isn't so gutless/soul sucking/emasculating... I would love a Golf TDI but it doesn't seem like people sell them.
