Anyone notice that the price as tested for the Mazda 3 was almost $5,000 more than the Cruze Eco? Exactly how is that a fair comparison?

One fundamental flaw in all this is that the Cruze is technically considered a small midsize car if you look at cargo and interior volume. The Mazda3 that supposedly beat it has inferior 0-60 and 1/4 mile times, inferior braking distance, inferior lateral acceleration, an inferior warranty, and by comparison, a tiny trunk. It's a pity they bumped it to #2 due to the manual transmission.

As a side note, the front end of that Mazda is hideous, IMO of course.

Yeah, it is a fundamental flaw.... It seemed to coincide *exactly* with what my car got off the lot. Coincidence? Maybe there is something to these dyno calculations...

Here's an interesting tidbit. They measured the 1/4 mile time at 16.2. What did your LTZ get?
