I expect performance of it will remain similar to that of a base Cobalt (which...owning one, I think is actually pretty fun, though clearly not up to the level of the Cobalt SS or even V6 Camaro.). The Cruze is better looking (imo), and is supposed to be lighter, vastly more fuel efficient, better built, and have a kick-ass interior that eclipses the likes of the Corolla, etc. I believe that's what fenwick meant when he made that comment. Comprehensively (not just performance), the Cruze will be a far and away better car than the Cobalt.  |
it wasn't??
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=104953 the best way to tell an 05 from all the other is the badges on the door are half way up the door (i'm not sure it it came out halfway through 2005 like the ss/tc did in 08)
but looks are opinion's i don't like the looks of the new cruze but verses a base model balt yea it's better, but the ss looks 100x better in person verses a base model yes the interior is better... if it can hold my cups better then the balt. imo they just made another malibu if there was not an ss cobalt and i was on the budget i'm on i can't afford a 2ss camaro let alone a base camaro... and i want something with "performance" in mind what do i have to buy? it's not just the cruze but chevy is turning into toyota and that's not bad for competition to get chevy back on top that's what they need but i would have a nsrt4 if there was no ss balt (but hey what's losing one customer for 100 potential new ones) btw my uncle owns a dealership so i've been chevy biased since birth so buying an srt would be like cutting an arm off
and i wouldn't pay the audi guy any mind anyone that bought one of those gawd awful priuses they're gonna feel ashamed they wasted their money when they see a volt on the road and any potential buyers toyota had for the prius they just lost to the volt
