And yeah I know it will never happen, no need to point out what I already know...
What if Chevy to the Cruze, the not quite compact but pretty small car, and made a rear wheel drive version, with a 6 speed manual, and a 5.3L V8. Fenders that flared out an extra few inches, and very wide high performance tires.
Think of it like a small "M" series BMW or "S" series Audi. But simple, not filled with fancy luxury toys, and cheap, say low 30's. And that sweet sweet V8 power. And in a car that small, it could probably easily get as much MPG as a V6 Camaro.
That is a car I would very seriously consider buying. Granted I'll buy anything that's rear wheel drive, but still.

The idea was thrown around a while ago. It would use a smaller-than-Alpha RWD platform, something like a FR-S/BRZ competitor. Probably wouldn't have had a V8 though.
GM should really just stick the 2.0T in Cruze, slap SS badges on, and call it a day.
