Don't get me wrong, I'd like them to do a performance Cruze as long as they fully engineer it. They've got a nice little Cruze racing platform going on too- so some tie in opportunities.
I'm just of the opinion that right now they consider performance models of anything but those 3 cars (vette, camaro, cts-v) a distraction. Maybe in late 2011 or 2012 they'll feel more adventurous. Its a well worn tradition to put out a performance model of vehicles that are starting to age. In the meantime, I hope this thread can get back on track. No need to insult anyone's current ride or accuse them of being closet Toyota lovers. |

Okay, you keep telling yourself that. It's obvious you really don't know anything about GM's future plans if that's what you're expecting. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, has said that the Corvette, Camaro, and CTS-V are the last performance cars from GM. That's total BS that you just made up to prove your own point. If GM was giving up on performance completely, there wouldn't be a Regal GS in the works right now. And in case you didn't know, Cruze was in development long before GM went into bankruptcy, when GMHPVO was still active. It's the same reason there will be a CTS-V Coupe and why the CTS-V Sportwagon is under consideration. Hell, Lutz himself said they're considering a performance-oriented Volt.

And there's nothing wrong with that...at all!! But may I ask, who's to say you wouldn't have as much (or likely more) driving a Cruze? |

To-be-announced (and likely, since it's already being sold in Europe...). As for the hp, does the Cobalt?

(in all seriousness...the Cobalt doesn't have nice cupholders...whoever decided to put them up against the HVAC controls like that never put a cup in there to test it, I'm sure of it....) |
