2008 Sedan Review

Just in case you guys are interested...

http://jalopnik.com/5110870/2008-che...sedan-part-one

Keep an eye out for part 2 and 3 in the next few days.

I have not read it yet, but I expect it to be the same old story...cheap interior, a blast to drive...

With your foot planted resolutely on the accelerator pedal and sport mode enabled, you feel a satisfying whoosh of power as the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four rapidly builds boost, and speed. Your grin turns to a moment of furtive panic as you realize the 260 horses have nowhere to go but the front wheels and the steering gets light as a feather. But, this doesn't stop you from executing a no-lift-shift, made possible by a clever trick of programming and excellent synchros. You effortlessly chirp the tires in second and off you go for another crush of barely controllable power and fury.

no it didnt
