Hi Romir:

___Nice post and I too had never thought of the AH in that light. I am still not a believer in its goals but being at the top in the FE department amongst EVERY domestic out there is pretty amazing! This will give the AH owners some more ammunition to fight off the naysayers in any debate.

___I thought the following would be of interest to some:

Caddy CTS (small V6) at $29,990 with the GM employee discount vs. the AH at $27,450 …

Size: 102.7 cu. ft. vs. 99 cu. ft. … AH wins.
FE: 29/37 vs. 18/27 … AH wins.
Performance: 0-60 in 6.5 vs. 7.1 … AH wins.
Interior appearance: AH wins.
Cost: Deal pricing of $27,450 vs. $29,990 (CTS w/ Auto) … AH wins.
Resale: AH wins.
Lux amenities: CTS had to win at something

___Good Luck
