2017 Cruze Hatchback
#56
Well look at what Mazda did with the new 2017 Speed3. They killed it once they found out that nobody would buy it do to the target buyers not being able to afford it. Maybe Chevy feels the same way about building a Cruze SS.

Yup. That's like paying 65k for the Genesis, but in the end it's still a Hyundai.

I agree. Chevy should have done a better job with the cobalt ss when it first came out. Maybe they left a bad taste in the mouth of early 20 some things who are now in their late 20s and early 30s who would be able to afford the cruze ss but would not be interested in another chevy. Look at old threads and you'll see why not many people stuck around; cars that were stalling with the ac on, dip sticks popping out, oem thermostats that fail around 50k, steering column rattles, intercooler pumps wired backwards from the factory, never ending premature clunking, moonroof buttons falling off, water on passenger floor, roll pins made of glass,........The list goes on.

Even most entry level cars have way way more tech than cars from 10 years ago.
Emission and safety standards are getting stricter so the cost gets pushed down to the buyers.
Inflation makes a difference.
The economy is better.
People just expect more from a car today than the did even 10 years ago.
EDIT - Average prices are actually on the downward trend. http://wgntv.com/2016/04/25/the-aver...you-were-born/
