Here's a real return to form: an affordable American sedan that does all the basics right, but one that's very competitive with the Asian imports.

The styling is attractive without being boring, the interior looks and feels expensive, and the powertrains are smooth and responsive. There's even a hybrid model, but it isn't worth considering until it gets GM's two-mode system.

Hopefully, Chevrolet will keep advertising and updating this car frequently. That hasn't always happened in the past, and this car doesn't deserve that fate.
