Well, the 05 came in with higher combined MPG than EVERY SINGLE car built by the big3. (Actually it tied with the Neon, I think, and one of the stripped-down Malibus).

The 06 is sort of sitting in the pack now, although its a pack of anemic 4-bangers. And the FEH beats it now- shame!!!!

I guess one could take solace that their new 06 is still in the very top percentage of FE cars overall. And that new car smell. PZEV is significant, too.

Onwards and upwards to better things...bigger picture. Better stuff is coming down the pipe. By 2010 we'll all be in 2nd-gen systems, hopefully FFV-enabled.
