So, After SEMA I'm now thinking of...

Selling the CR-Z and getting a Veloster for a DD. Its a cool little car! At the Detroit Auto Show they are going to debut the Turbo model, with it

At the Detroit Auto Show they are going to debut the Turbo model, with it on sale shortly thereafter, so I guess I will wait til spring to decide for sure.

According to KBB, the CR-Z is worth close to what I paid for it private party and just a little less at trade in value.

Saw one on the road for the first time this week. Cool looking little thing. Hopefully, they will turbo it within an inch of it's life!

I also like the Veloster alot, in fact if/when they have a different front bumper without the smile face. It would be a damn good DD good gas mileage cool looking.

I get 40 with the CRZ going to and from work, which is 20 miles on 6 lane road and 30 miles of highway each way. Screwing around town running errands, about 34.

I'm sure the turbo V won't do that, but hey, its a turbo and it should still be in the high 30s just putting around to work and back.
