I'm really hoping that Nissan does bring back a 240SX replacement. Maybe they can revive the affordable RWD 4 cyl market. Especially with Hyundai coming out with the Genesis how awesome (but very unlikely) if GM followed suit and came out with something like that with the next gen Cobalt or Cruze?

 

bump

 

I'm still not sure why people voted no...

 

lol probably because they're either resentful they couldn't get a Cobalt SS for whatever reason, or they think that the "SS" name probably shouldn't be used on a FWD sport compact...

I for one do hope a Cruze SS comes out, I hope that it has better quality and reliability vs the Cobalt, and I'm sure it will, and hopefully with at least the same performance if not better than what the current Cobalt SS delivers...

 

I'm tellin you if GM comes out with an SS model that looks like the picture on the first page I'd buy the **** out of it LOL

 

Hell yeah! Me too!

 

Look at the people who voted no... TC and SC owners.

 

that thing looks soooooo beautiful!

 

Oh I don't know... maybe quality? I think something that GM should put into their small cars. Maybe focus a bit on squeak and rattle control.

 

that kinda stuff is only extra money in the end which is why the cobalt didn't get very much R&D on it, i'm sure the cruze will have a little more R&D towards that end

 

Couple things I'd like to see in addition to what's been mentioned...

--Corvette/Cobalt-style 4 taillights in back with afterburner look (that ALL light up)
--Nav system with RPD in-dash (similar to the GTR) and maybe keep just a boost gauge on the a-pillar like the ss/sc and t/c w/o RPD
--LSD
--If not standard, then optional aggressive lip kit all the way around the car.
--High-rise spoiler option
--Double sun-roof that's starting to become more popular now. Or maybe a whole glass panel roof would be crazy
--"SS" badge instead of Chevy badge up front
--Aggressive seats but still heated
--More Nurburgring-tuned suspension
--300+HP, 0-60 in low-mid 5's and 1/4 mile in 13's, all STOCK
--NO MORE CHEAP PLASTIC!!!!!
--an armrest (finally)
--and PLENTY of GOOD GM/GMPP options
--Damn well better be a coupe.

And for the love of God, GM, please please please make it look as good as this...


If GM did, I'd be the first in line to buy one.

 

Independent Rear Suspension Ftw!!!!!

 

If the car looks like that I'd be all over it. But knowing GM, I don't think they would be that elaborate with the exterior design of the car.

 

Unfortunately. I'm really hoping GM FINALLY pulls through with this one. It'd be awesome.

 

Looks kinda like a Tibby with that wing.

 

As long as the bells and whistles stuff is kept to a minimum, I think the options are cool, but they should be just that - OPTIONS. I'm tired of car companies making a "performance" model and then junking it up with things like heavy ass huge rims, sunroof, 200 disc changer, heated seats, power everything, etc.

The more choice the better then people can get something more along the lines of what they want.

 

Yea, it definitely would be nice if they did and as I said, I would definitely be all over that car.

Suppose it comes out, would it still run the LNF motor? I hope so because I believe that car has a lot of potential once people get the tuning of it down pat.

No, actually one of the newer Eclipses with the high wing they come with....

 

6 Speed-Manual and Auto
6 CD/NAV unit
Lighter weight
Full gauge package in the cluster with the Boost gauge there as well.
Center console
MRF shock-As an option at least
5 lug wheels ONLY!

 

I think a wingless trunk should be an option.

 

I'm just curious why you guys say you'd prefer a 6 speed?


What don't you like about the current 5 speed?

 

another gear = better economy on the highway. 80 MPH @ 3000 RPM's isn't very efficient...

 

^^x2, other than that I have no problems with the 5-speed

 

Some production BBS wheels would be nice. Something better then the cheaply made wheels that come on the previous SS models.

 

I'd like to see a Direct Injected 2.4L as a Z24 Cruze model to beat on the new civic si. As well The Cruze SS Coupe should use a Turbo Directed Injected 2.4L with at least 300whp stock and a stock 7000RPM redline, things like noliftshift and comp mode should be carried over from the ss/tc and definately give us the option of a high profile wing like with the cobalt ss/sc and ss/tc, there is no way of making both crowds happy with one wing.......not gunna happen lol. As others have mentioned, it's time to get projectors stock, that's LONG overdue that should have be been done for the ss/tc if not the ss/sc too, you gotta one-up the competition.

 

Also I hope they dont use the same damn shift knob they have been using Not only do the SS/SC and SS/TC have it but so do the newer Saabs.
