That's the range of the ST so unfortunately no way that will happen. I think Bill had it right.

Being a hard core Ford truck person I like how Ford is stepping their game up with this. I don't quite like the front fascia area myself though. Too much dull plastic.

Ehh looks like a Evo had sex with a mini van and got a big mouth Evo baby. Its gonna be fun seeing it try to hang with the wrx and Evo tho, around some tracks the next 6months lol with these new cars I always wonder how much power is left to mess with. Wonder if it can hit 400/400 with a tune and some bolting

It's going to do a lot more than hang with Evo's and STI's with how much power it has.

No joke. Hopefully the numbers are true to what we see off the showroom floor.

Even though the new Cruze is lighter and has more power, without the SS it's useless to many of us.

I wish they did. The cruze comes with a grocery list of problems from the factory.

Except it might end up weighing over 3700lbs. The last gen euro spec RS was 3600 and change and they typically get heavier with each generation.
