It seems to be to doing a good job holding it's own in performance.

hm, ok, I'm not familiar with this race series, do the cars have to be completely stock or is that thing a modified race-only version of the Cruze?

Most of the engineering underpinning the Cruze was done by Opel in Europe, with some help from Daewoo, Holden, and GM North America. When they said it was designed globally, they mean "by people from all parts of the globe."

its not a performance car, but could be a bad ass sport compact like the cobalt ss.
shocks, sway bars, LNF, brembo's, and sum time on the nuriberg and this car will be the best car in the sport compact, in both performance and quality/looks. i could see alot of guy jumping ship to the cruze ss. there was plenty who wanted the cobalt ss/tc but couldnt justify its interior/exterior quality.
its only a matter of time before gm jumps back into the sport compact market. GM performance division pumps out some deadly cars.
