About this model

This coupe is built for drivers who want a rear-wheel-drive performance car and are willing to plan around a large 5.5-liter 8-cylinder engine rather than a fuel bill. The EPA rates it at 12 city, 18 highway, 14 combined, on premium gasoline, paired with an 8-speed automatic. On a 30-mile freeway commute at that combined figure, you're looking at roughly two gallons burned each way, and the tank will empty faster than in an ordinary commuter car. Highway trips stretch the range a little thanks to the 18 mpg rating, but city driving or stop-and-go traffic pulls consumption down toward that 12 mpg number quickly. There's no hybrid assistance here — this is a conventional gasoline powertrain putting all of its work through the rear wheels, which suits spirited driving more than daily errand-running in heavy traffic. Anyone cross-shopping this against a commuter sedan or an electric vehicle should weigh the fuel stops: this is a car you refuel often, not one built to minimize trips to the pump.
