ChevyRockstar 10-13-2008, 04:18 PM pretty neat
Projekt 10-13-2008, 04:18 PM ZUHHH!!! 2.0L LNF is my bet
nutsandboldts05 10-13-2008, 05:13 PM Love the paint, and the article points out that they use the 2.0 for the engine.
That wing is Horrid....
HackAbuse 10-13-2008, 05:15 PM I never really liked the cruze, but wow, that one looks shmexy
chevy cobalt 08 10-13-2008, 05:25 PM it looks stupid where they painted over part of the headlight, but not bad.
JRelly 10-13-2008, 05:26 PM The wing needs to go
chevy cobalt 08 10-13-2008, 05:29 PM The wing needs to go
I agree, I was just about to edit my post saying that, but I figured I'd just quote instead.
umrdyldo 10-13-2008, 05:29 PM 2.0L what? Turbo or N/A
I actually like that cars stance.
Tazmanian_Dvl 10-13-2008, 05:32 PM Wish it came in a 2 door..
umrdyldo 10-13-2008, 05:34 PM Translation: CC08 is working on his own riced out version of this paint job...coming soon to multiple posts near you...
uncalled for
It would be fun to have a paint scheme that matches that car.
El_diablos_SS/TC 10-13-2008, 05:37 PM The one confirmed engine for the American version of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze is a new 1.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. The company predicts 140 horsepower and fuel economy as high as 45 mpg, presumably on the highway. By contrast, the 2009 Cobalt's base 2.2-liter non-turbo four produces 155 horses and is EPA-rated at 25/37 mpg city/highway in new gas-miser XFE trim. In Europe at least, transmissions will comprise a 5-speed manual and an optional 6-speed automatic versus Cobalt's 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic. Gearing will be chosen with an eye to maximizing fuel economy without compromising low-rpm performance. At some point, Chevrolet might add a sporty Cruze akin to the current Cobalt SS, perhaps with the same 260-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder. The decision will hinge on buyer sentiment and how much higher gas prices go in the next couple of years.

rallyracer 10-13-2008, 09:10 PM OH DAMN...that looks badass.
clicknd 10-13-2008, 11:20 PM That looks really nice. Im extremely excited about this car and am still curious as to when it will be released in the U.S.
jr racing 10-13-2008, 11:42 PM DI setup? now sure what you mean? independent throttle body setup?
cobaltguy88 10-14-2008, 12:10 AM shweeet... me likes that car.
BigTizzle903 10-14-2008, 12:19 AM it looks like a revamped balt
ace921000 10-14-2008, 01:08 AM i like the looks of it. hope it comes in 2 door
snake890217 10-14-2008, 01:11 AM Its good but I still don't love the front end.
07hhr 10-14-2008, 01:14 AM i love that little rear window is painted over looks so much nicer.

afireinside7710 10-14-2008, 01:51 AM doesnt look bad at all, except the wing
Toasted08cobalt2.2 10-14-2008, 02:08 AM this car look cool but it would be kick ass if it is awd but from the looks of it it looks like a 4 door balt meaning it is fwd
pimpnwink 10-14-2008, 02:12 AM that paints/stickers shame shit is bitchen especially where they had to fit the chevy logo so they painted the window awesome.
firebalt 10-14-2008, 03:30 AM id buy it
senior_brown 10-14-2008, 03:47 AM car looks pretty good... and on the wing note.. appearance means dick all when its a race car.. that wing has probably been through some serious testing
jr racing 10-14-2008, 01:21 PM agreed the wing means nothing as it's all about performance not looks. it is fwd here is the old version of the car. they raced it for the past 3 years i think.

Spectral 10-14-2008, 05:55 PM the more new stuff like this i see about the car the more it grows on me....the stance on that car is sweeeeet.
1WhiteSSTC 10-14-2008, 06:22 PM now sure what you mean? independent throttle body setup?
Direct Injected, like the LNF in my 09 ss/tc.......wat i'm getting at is, could they do a street 250bhp n/a 2.0L? Stage kits would be turbo upgrades going from 350bhp-550bhp? I can dream rite?
jr racing 10-14-2008, 09:02 PM Direct Injected, like the LNF in my 09 ss/tc.......wat i'm getting at is, could they do a street 250bhp n/a 2.0L? Stage kits would be turbo upgrades going from 350bhp-550bhp? I can dream rite?
lol no it's not DI its independent trhottle bodies not sure if it's 8 or 4 injectors.
CobaltLs_14 10-14-2008, 09:06 PM i think it looks good...
but i wanna see the 2 door...
RooTBeeR 10-14-2008, 10:05 PM ...fender flares make me gag :thumbsdow
SS4EVER 10-14-2008, 10:10 PM Wish it came in a 2 door..
The 2dr will come.... It just may not launch the same time the sedan does, it may come out a 1 MY or 2 later...
Pretty good thing to see that they are already showcasing the performance capabilities of the Cruze... That's what we want to see and know that GM isn't skipping out on that part...
jr racing 10-14-2008, 11:13 PM ...fender flares make me gag :thumbsdow
it's a race car they need it to allow for the wide wheels along with the lowering of the car allowing for a better center of gravity
RooTBeeR 10-16-2008, 01:20 AM it's a race car they need it to allow for the wide wheels along with the lowering of the car allowing for a better center of gravity

Kazuki 10-16-2008, 02:26 PM If that car really ends up coming out with the LNF, i'll def get it :D
vandy0419 11-14-2008, 01:46 AM I wish they would officially release the available engines...I'm liking the car more and more...but only if it will have a performance engine...
snake890217 11-14-2008, 01:51 AM this car is starting to grow on me. I'm just still not a fan of the huge grill chevy has on all it's cars.
