Cruze: Crash Test ratings in Europe
I'm not sure how this translates into US-spec crash tests...but this is fantastic news, because the Cobalt its replacing has less-than-acceptable crash-test ratings (three stars all around)...yet it's still selling close to 200,000 units!!!!
This....should help! http://media.gm.com/content/media/us.../1125_GM_Cruze Quote:

Not impressed >.>
Safety ruins style. And puts far to many drivers in that 'im invincible' mode. I bet if you had a 90% chance to die in a crash people would be a lot more compatent drivers. (sorry I love being negative) |

No SS versions are available anymore (production-wise). No Sport model is planned... but that's not to say one version isn't going to have a bigger engine and stiffer suspension!
I think this car is a great step up from the Cobalt! Moreso then the Cobalt from the Cavy, in leaps and bounds!! Go GM! We'll be on top soon again!

The SS badge is older than the performance divison by about 40 years. The disappearance of a corporate group (who also did Redline, GXP, and -V cars) doesn't mean there will never be another SS. It just means that nonsense like the Malibu Maxx SS won't be seen again.

Or, I have frequent tailgaters, I need 2 double barrel shotguns installed behind my tail lights with a flip down system. I bet I wont even need ammunition =p
But anyways, the less incentive to use your phone, makeup, gps, whatever.... The better. Be it if you have to sacrifice personal safety for propper awareness. I'm tired of all this crap encouraging careless driving and then protecting these idiots. |
