I love mine. It looks good, is great on gas, and I think it has decent potential as well. The only problem I've had with it during the past two years is the rotors warping; I know alot of other guys have had the same problem.

DO NOT LET THE DEALER CHARGE YOU MORE FOR SOMETHING CALLED AN RS!!!!!

if you only want a 2.2 get the LS or LT, trade for the wing. Dealers are gonna charge you an extra couple grand for a wing and a badge you are gonna take off

^^I agree. Don't get all the little dealer add-ons. IMO the high rise does not belong on a stockish 2.2

$150 more, not a grand or anything like that. I am smart enough to understand that the rs 'model' is just some badging and a wing, and they are only charging 150

its 12,500 then i can get 1000 off with the gm credit card points, plus the incentives right now (i cant remember how much those are) so less than 11,500. Its victory red, coupe, 5sp, 24 miles on it, and we will prob add cruse control. Pics when i get it (hopefully tomorrow)

nope, its the low pro. I have test driven the exact car, and its the low pro wing. I really like the hi profile wing, but i agree with the posts above, it doesnt look good at all on a non ss/sc balt.

Good luck man, I don't know much about the 2.4 and 2.2 platforms. Hope everything works out great for you.

i still love my cav, but im tired of the 2200 and the lack of power and acceleration. it seems more like a truck engine than a small car engine

i thought the ls came with a low pro spoiler anyway?

Every supposed RS i have ever heard of was just a 2.2 with decals or badges and a high pro
