Remember that GM is also selling the Cruze RS in Europe so imagine the rights battle that might pop up there over 'RS'.

It's not like GTO.. which I still don't get.
Oh I don't mean it was sad not calling it an RS anymore.

Just sad it went from 305hp/320ish tq to 247hp. Hopefully they just make a SVT version with the same 300+hp/tq.
