This is the best V6 car you can possibly get

[Speed 1]

I was shocked when test driving, had to ask the dealer over and over if this was really the 6cyl.

This V6 is full of power!!!

So it's a v6 for me - the main bonus there is "regular gas"

On the highway in 6th gear? Oh you will see this number. No problem.

EPA inflates the numbers a little bit. Foreign or domestic.

Yeah because I know I'm constantly scanning my transmission temperature while cruising the highway.

They're a cosmetic gimmick. None of them offer any real-time relevance that you must divert attention to them with any regularity.

Last year they changed their test procedure and calculations. EPA numbers now represent an average driver pretty well. Many people will beat the EPA numbers without trying.

Probably why they did away with the torque guage? I'd probably crash at least once while watching it climb

On a very flat 5 mile stretch in my SS I got 30.8 mpg. Yes a very small sampling, but if I can get that the V6 will surely be able to get 29 mpg.

I have nothing but intuition to back me up, but I think it was patenting that killed it.

im with him
the EPA estimates dropped about 3-5 for most cars...which is that amount that you used to have to subtract from the sticker. they should be fairly close to bang on now.

I know the Edmunds editors average about what the EPA says for their LT fleet, and they're lead footed and drive in LA traffic, so if anything the EPA numbers are pessimistic. Then again, if you're not lead footed with the Camaro then you're not doing it right.

The 4 pack gauges are purely cosmetic. Good to check at a stoplight, but I doubt anyone in their right mind would look at them while driving. They sure do add some nice detail to the interior.
