I don't normally post new cars, more so if they are American but this Buick caught my attention. Mostly because it has 1.2L turbo engine with 136 HP and 162 pound-feet of torque.
Of course. the Japanese have been making small displacement cars for decades and there are some very interesting things in Europe but something for the US from a US company is interesting.

Comparing the Envista and the 3rd gen Fit specs, the Envista is larger.

Not zippy at all but a start.
Ford has been tweaking the EcoBoost for nearly a decade now and has some interesting engines even if not available in the states yet.
Only interested because I remember how bad the American cars were in my youth (1970-1980).

Driving a slow car fast is much more fun than driving a fast car slow (for me). Much cheaper and easier to get more smiles per mile.
I've owned an E30 M3 with upgraded suspension and an early 90's Civic hatch with brake and suspension upgrades. Both cars were fun but the Civic kept me smiling.
