I'm with theholycow on this for sure.

This is a great observation.
GM could definitely retune the Cobalt and have a high-mileage version of the ECOTEC that runs in the Cruze. The Cobalt is a great option for sport-oriented first-time drivers. The Cruze could be more economical in terms of gas and low-performance.
I also agree that having multiple models by GM called the Cruze.
