Doesn't look bad

Jesse Jan 7, 2016 10:53 PM

If the engine didn't suck so hard I'd buy one. They really need to keep up with the Focus ST.

Snail_SS Jan 7, 2016 11:01 PM

Yeah exactly that's the down side of chevy atm the engines have no power.

Slowbalt2000 Jan 7, 2016 11:18 PM

Needs more 2.0t

Haven07 Jan 8, 2016 12:50 AM

Needs some balls...

It's like a focus and a Hyundai Sonata had a baby. I hate it

Staged07SS Jan 8, 2016 07:48 AM

Looks like a focus. Yuck.

Cobalt08tc Jan 8, 2016 08:57 AM

If they made a performance version it wouldn't be bad. I didn't think I liked hatchbacks until I bought my ST lol

Snail_SS Jan 8, 2016 09:05 AM

I've always liked hatchbacks, it's not bad but it seems kinda high. kinda looks like a Nissan rogue or those type of mini suvs

jcobaltss Jan 8, 2016 10:02 AM

I think the cruze looks way better than that, but I'm not a hatchback fan. Except the 2014 wax but that's my .02

It would appear that they are!

Chevy Boss Says High-Po Cruze RS Hatch Is A Possibility

That means absolutely nothing. They say that about almost every prototype at those car shows, and none are ever really considered. Besides, do you really think he'd answer the question with something realistic like "No, this is enough."? His job is to get excitement to drum up sales, and saying "no" wouldn't do that. GM stopped caring about the segment with the Cobalt SS.

Even though it's probably a good idea to do it, they won't. GM has a disconnect with reality. They tend to think logically. For example, I remember a specific quote by Wagoner about hybrids. He was asked if GM would do it, and he said no because it doesn't make sense that a person would buy a car that costs more than you'd ever make up the cost in gas savings for. He's exactly right. Financially, it has never made sense to buy a Prius or other hybrid. However, look what happened.

I can't find the quote, but I'm pretty sure he said that somewhere.

Sorry sorry sorry, GM USA.

Snail_SS Jan 14, 2016 03:18 PM

Even if they made it somewhere else, if we can't have it we can say what exninja said imo

exninja Jan 14, 2016 03:23 PM

Used to be that Ford was doing the same thing with the Focus, but now we're FINALLY getting the RS here.

What do you think the new Cruze hatch is based off of???

Snail_SS Jan 14, 2016 03:53 PM

Nothing really since I won't get one, so doesn't really matter to me. But I guess I know now lol

exninja Jan 14, 2016 04:01 PM

I will wager a lot of doughnuts that in the USA we will never see a performance version of the Cruze hatch.
