I wouldn't. I'd prefer something like a better made SRT4 Neon.

But no doubt whatsoever.... it would certainly sell here.

Re: would you buy this?

I just can't picture myself ever buying something so small.... I really don't have any interest in something like that at all.....

It may do well in the segment though.

295 lbft.

I wouldn't buy it unless I wanted a small daily driver. But a performance diesel in something else might be a different story.

Damn. I'd sport it for a daily driver. 200hp, almost 300ft/lbs of torque, and 40mpg is a nice recipe for a beater.

I like it! Give it some pontiac styling cues and I would like it even more.

It all depends on its power.
However, we all know that it is impossible for someone to make a cheap fast car.
