I've been reading a lot of online magazine within the last few months, to me it looks like GM is 80% sure of producing the 2014 Chevy Cruze Coupe SS for MY 2014.. It makes me wonder, if this does happen, what will the future designs of the Ecotec engine will look like?? HINT HINT GM.. 2.4 Turbo with dual port DI please!!

If it does, I wouldn't be surprised if the FWD HP will be around 260 - 300 range.. and I hope GM comes out a with a stage kit[s] while the car is out on the sales floor, instead of a few years later like the Cobalt stage kit snafu.. I hope it comes with a either a 6 or 7 speed transmission in Auto or Manual with paddle shifters.. SWEET!! .

As for the suspension I'm hoping for a beefier setup compared to our Cobalt's, but it will be nice to have it as a option[s] i.e.: different size Anti-Sway-bars, Springs, etc..? A nice steering wheel setup to go with the sharp steering feel.. [Electronic steering control, really GM? - bad idea]

As for the brakes, bigger Bembro's at least 17" or 18" would be nice.. [GM thats was a nice feature on the Cobalt - Bravo!!]

The interior should be sportier, and filled with some Carbon fiber accents, dual screen RPD features both on the A-piller pod and on the radio screen [a-la GTR screen].. and it should have the radio options like the Caddy ATS radio - that radio is a hot!!

There is talk online, that the 2014 Cruze Coupe SS will make an appearance early next year during the 2013 Detroit Auto Show... we'll see.. Even though GM has been pretty tight lipped on what options [??] it will have, if they decide to produce it. I hope they don't miss the boat on this..

I would be first on line to pick one up..

 

I won't be one to get one.

 

i would think its just a 2 door Buick Verano. which wouldnt be a bad thing. i believe they have 250 Turbo motors.

i am willing to bet the front bumper wont look like that though. its not what Chevy has been following for styling cues

 

your right it not the same style cues, as the new malibu grille..

 

Wingless. Debadged. Tint. Plastidip front chrome grille. Done

 

If its fwd ill pass

 

right. i would think it would use the RS bumper or LT bumper with fogs and maybe an added lip.

 

I have an issue with the whole rear side of this car lol...

 

possible Impala design cues?? maybe..

 

Yah the rear is killing it.

However i do like the HHR SS Wheels

what company chopped this up as a rendering?

 

another high powered fwd car. dang it

 

This is speculative rendering of the 2014 Chevy Cruze may look like.. b/c the 2014 MY has design cues from Impala..

The fog light are LED types like the new benz's..

 

Photo credits are from Road & Track..

I like the wheels too, but they look "beefier".. lol..

 

If it looks like this... I'll be the first to buy one!

 

i seen this. on I-94 out here near there testing site. was camofalged but that was deffenatly it

oh and the electric steering BTW every car manufacture uses it. for chrysler, its for fuel economy and actually works better that power steering hydrolics. since it can adjust to the speed of the car

 

Id rock it!!!

 

f it were FWD, I'd still rock it


increased crank hp numbers with the Regal and the ATS, jus by openin the exhaust an retunin, it'd still be eay power, but much nicer than the cobalt.. I'd grab one in SRMT

 

This should be a bad ass car just like the lnf ss but im going to get the 130r just because its rwd that is if they put the 2.0t in it.

 

i like it!

 

If its AWD it will be a hit, if it's still fwd like the Cobalt SS was it will be hated on just as much as its predecessor was.

 

If its awd people will just bitch because it's even more expensive.

 

If it was AWD or RWD it'd be awesome. FWD will suck

 

I guess how much is everybody's question.

 

Well.. The newer 2013 Cruze LTZ loaded are hitting the 27k mark... Those come with the touch screens, the backup camera, sound system, power leather heated seats.. keyless start..

So I imagine this one will start mid 20s...
