i agree. Unless it replaces the cobalt, then no SS. it would be too close to the cobalt ss and Chevy wouldn't do that.

The 45 MPG comes from a very small yet adequate 1.4L 4-cylinder engine. The secret behind its power? A turbocharger.

The fact that the Cruze gets equal highway fuel economy with the prius for a few thousand less completely negates anyone's justification for buying a prius.

That thing looks pretty nice. If it'll get somewhat close to a Prius in the city, HELLO; HERE I COME! Well, my wife. Prius' just aren't all that good looking, IMVHO.

And don't forget the equally stunning interiors...

Entry level interior (base or LS)


Upscale interior (LT/LTZ)

If they could shoehorn a V6 in there it might deserve an SS badge. But its a nice looking car and those fuel economy numbers are amazing.

I am so tempted to get this...

For the first time in a long while, GM's giving me a headache with all these cars that I so desperately want...Camaro, Cruze, Volt, LaCrosse...

Man this car looks simply amazing. The interior doesnt scream cheap at all and the economy numbers look great!

EDIT: Anybody else notice the drilled rotors and 4 piston brakes??? Does it say something about that in the link?? It wont work for me on the government computer.
