Default tC on MotorWeek this Week

For those of you who care, on yesterday's MotorWeek they said the tC will make its first appearance on the next MotorWeek. Check your local PBS station for air times.

I thought that C&D time was around 7.7. The review was nice though... seems like it should be a great daily driver. Anyone else get 27 mpg?

So far (480 miles on the car), I'm averaging a little more than 25 miles per gallon.
