*** GM Performance Cruze SS *** What would u like to see?
After a few weeks I'll dig though all the ideas and submit them to the GM Performance Division
***UPDATE ***
You can view the response to my email here.

I think its time we pull our ideas together discuss what we'd like to see on a Cruze SS. Remember this car has not actually been confirmed yet so I think this is even more reason to get some great idea out on the table.
They're already producing great results with FWD so AWD is out the window according to the GM Performance guys. It adds more weight, more cost and worse fuel economy.
List of what I'd like to see.
Read my list and then add items you'd like to see \/
* Offer the car in a coupe
* A more common lug bolt patter (5x114)
* Light weight wheel stock
* Blacked out headlights or color matched (similar to the Vette), enough with the all chrome.
* Car colors should include (Cyber Gray Metallic and white as well as your usual colors)
* Brembo Brakes are a must
* LSD is a must
* A lap time faster than 8:22 around the ring (Time to beat your old record)
* More aggressive seating with harness holes (Sit in a Evo or STi and you'll know what I'm talking about)
* Brake duck cooling holes incorporated into the front splitter or bumper
* Do something about that huge Chevy bowtie up front (paint it black or color match it)
* keyless ignition system
* Projector HID headlights
ADD YOUR IDEAS
What are some things that you'd like to see?

I love the concept by Remedy One. Honestly i don't like the look of the new cruze because i think that it looks too much like a malibu! I think that if they are planning on replacing it with the cobalt then they are going to have to catch the eye of all of the people that are looking for the sporty look. But i love the look of the concept once again!

That was done by SilverSS/SC, not Remedy.
I disagree.
The Cruze sedan surely looks better than the Cobalt sedan. If there is a coupe, I hope for the love of all that is holy it looks like this idea.
I disagree.

Only if required. For example, in the LNF it is not required.

So what are some things that you'd like to see?
GM could buy the design off him and or negotiate something and then produce it.

However Mazda did a great job with a "keyless" system on my friends MS6, which utilized a cap that operates like a conventional IGN, over a conventional key back-up.

It sounds like the push button is a disliked item...I'll change it on the list to keyless ignition
*** Keep the ideas coming ***

use less plastic on the dash so it doesnt rattle in the first few thousand miles
Also dont make the dash digital like the civics, seems they have been going over to that whenever they release future concepts
also either use the 2.0 or 2.4 and turbo it. the sky has the 2.4 turbo, makes good power

But, in addition I would suggest they offer the LNF for the Cruze SS, def coupe form as suggested, and yeah... Actually a 2.4L Turbo w DI, and VVT would be pretty awesome...
oh and AWD, but I know that's probably asking too much...
