Seeing as how there probably won't even be a Cobalt after the Cruze hits dealer lots...

that's still FWD as opposed to the nissan being RWD

that all depends on the hands it's in...

oh... like just about every silvia & 180 sold in japan. it's about time they brought it over
Technically that's speculation on my part because for this reincarnation, it was rumored that Nissan was just going to shove it's VQ in the bay

yea seriously if you go down the line in a few years it will be Camaro, G8, Solstice, corvette thats it?? That sounds weak, first off no affordable performance, second no family sedan thats fun to drive in the affordable range. Another thing Nissan offers manuals all around. GM is slowly killing those off two WTF LOL

i was talking about the fact that the majority of silvias & 180sx (the hatch version) came with the SR20DET (a 2.0L I4 with a turbo) while the american versions (all called 240sx) came with the KA24DE (a less powerful 2.4L n/a)
