Your MPG
Last time I checked the Sunfire was getting about 31, compared to its EPA estimate of about 24. I drive as economically as practically possible. I haven't been able to top off the tank for the past few months so I don't know what I've been getting recently.

The Future Of Fiat's Lineup
Does that mean Dodge and Chrysler won't get any compacts? Or will they get sedans and Fiat just have hatches?

The Beetle is actually in decent condition and he's gonna run it as is. He's going to get another frame for the Avenger.

Mercedes-Benz Ponders On Whether To Bring The Vito To The US
Quite the opposite, the Mercedes badge will increase the perception of the van as high quality, a cut above the others in its class. Maybe not to van shoppers, but probably to luxury car shoppers who wouldn't take a close look at the van anyway.

I thought the current Cadillac One had Escalade headlights. Are they still using the old ones?

A Kia Forte 5-door hatch. I didn't even know they made one, let alone sold it in the US.

Yeah, I'm not sure that was one of them though. Didn't get to see the grille if it had the charging door.

What car would you re-badge back?
I would've kept the Merkur Scorpio badged a Ford, and brought it over in '85 instead of introducing the Taurus. Of course then we would've ended up with an ever uglier third-generation model.

Opel planning new premium crossover, compact EV
I hadn't seen that concept before, but I really like it. Would be a great Buick counterpart to the Volt.

Wow, that XT2 is awesome.

Potential Project Catalina
I can't offer any advice as far as the best drivetrain. Whatever you put in, I would recommend a device to monitor your fuel economy like a ScanGuage or a vacuum gauge if you wanna keep it classic. It'd be a heck of a job to aero-mod. Fender skirts and full, smooth undercarriage covering would be the best compromise between discreet and effective.
