The front just screams, “I wish I was a real Jetta!” to me!!

If this get the HFV6 from the Malibu it will have credibility. Otherwise FAIL.

GM. An American Revolution

I guess this idiot, ^^^^^^ up there, doesn’t know how to f-ing read!

This is a great god damn car for the price. 6 speed manual, sharp styling, a bunch of great standard features – it really is the best replacement for the last Mazda6.

I might have bought this if I had waited. That’s quite a car for not alot of coin. I kind of think the SLS with some sort of sport package would be the ride to buy out of the bunch, all the luxury of a $30,000 car for alot less. Or just the GTS if you don’t need the thrills of the SLS – but I like them thrills.

A4, leftwing still thinks we’re wrong when it comes to our theory about ugly snouts, bloated sedans and sales figures. If Suzuki sales suddenly pick up when this is introduced and Mazda sales continue to slide it’s going to add a little more fuel to our fire.

Not that I have this insatiable desire to prove leftwing wrong or anything… lord knows there are already enough people on this site hell bent on that mission.

stick an audi or mercedes sticker on this, and it will sell for $35k .
nut jog nmofgm. that v6 would ruin the handling. the v6 is to big to heavy for this car. it would handle like a beached whale. or the new camero.

Rockford fosgate, sounds good to me, that was one reason I almost bought a mitsibishi

It’s a nice car and I hope it does well…..however I think they are cutting themselves short without a V6 variant.

Or even a Turbo 4-cylinder.

Sounds like a better bang for your buck vs a comparable Korean make, say the Sonata.

get in line, johnny, but bring a book! my pet theory on mazda is that they’re not a large company, more of a small player, and in tough economies the smaller companies get pinched harder compared to the big guys…perhaps the bigger guys can offer better incentives and withstand bigger losses for greater periods…but that’s really all bs…i’m sure greg can poke holes in my argument there…

i like this suzuki thing, but what kills it for me is the AWD/CVT mandatory combo…is it so wrong to want AWD and a manual for under 30k in something that doesn’t look like a subaru?

This is a nice looking auto. Nothing special but it will hit the mainstream folks well.

Johnny, LWA can’t help it if his heart bleeds for everything pathetically ugly in the world and that he wants us to overlook and embrace its ugliness in the spirit of seeing inner beauty and then financially support it because it was born to lose. That’s his agenda, man.

If this had navigation as a standard feature I think I would sell like hot molasses over hot cakes!

Smegley vs. leftwing…

Here’s a hint… Smegley’s the one in the red uniform.

Niiice for the money.

Uhura aint got no assymetrical nostrils, Johnny, so LWA just can’t sport wood for the fair maiden.

Sorry, neither.

just insert “smeg and johnny” for “reginald”!

GM sucks

Car has nice lines, but……

1. you sit low, when driving can’t put elbow on open window sill
2. AWD is great but in reality it robs a lot of rear legroom; all models are 4 passengers (with or without AWD), unless 5th is a child or a midget.
3. if it aims at Subaru market, it did not exceed anything that Suby sedan has, or is it?

However it has the best looking interior IMO

The price is right
And more powerful than most 4-banger mid-sized sedans
Can they make one that was JUST LIKE the concept for $25k?>

What a beautiful design. Certainly better than the crap that garbage motors puts out. Of course you’re talking about the trailer trash “more oil for gm.”

Give me the wagon version like the concept, with AWD and we are talking.

I agree great car all around.

looks sharp, I’m a fan

still looks like a Jetta. Can the Japanese stop copying off other car brands (Hyundai)

and need NEED MORE OIL FOR GM IS AN IDIOT………. love ur username, totally agree

looks godd and appears to be a good value suzuki might have a hit here. Now they just need a GSX-R version.

The Interior looks good. but I don’t like the exterior, looks like the 5th Gen Golf/Rabbit and more of a compact like a Corolla than a midsizer.

What’s good for General motors is good for America

Your Comment

It’s a far cry from the concept version, too watered down. It will get lost in the midst of the mid-sized masses.

Arguing politics on the internet is always a loce-lose situation. You will never win any arguements – although You think You do – and you will lose friends in the process. I try to keep my mouth shut on things, although sometimes I can’t help myself.

The names of the lines need to be changed – S-SE-GTS-SLS are already used and have been used for years by just about every other manufacturer.

Sux you can’t get AWD w/a 6-speed stick.

I think for close to $27k, I’d rather have a Subaru Legacy GT. 250hp, AWD, stick shift, bigger.

don’t burst my bubble, jake! get some coffee on board and cheer the hell up

Jake, you have friends on the internet? Huh?

Make it a hazelnut coffee with a pinch of cinnamon, Jake, and leftwing will be your friend forever.

I went to the last day of the Tokyo Motor Show and had the chance to check out this car. Pretty impressive to say the least. Looks much better than the pics but the back end does need more edges to make it sportier. The seating position is comfortable and the pricing is good. The show unit has every option possible, heated seats, AWD, etc. Problem is, a little bit more and you can get the 3.5 Accord coupe. So it depends on what you’re looking for but a better alternative than Subarus.
