"And here’s hoping we’ll also be treated to a 260-hp SS version powered by the fire-breathing, turbocharged 2.0-liter Ecotec engine, although GM’s High-Performance Vehicle Operations have been put on hold. "

We can only hope, This is the only thing that will save this little machine that is nothing compared to the great Cobalt SS.

Sorry for the re-post. Thought there was only the motor trend and a euro mag review.

WOW! were is the aggressive styling!? The interior IMO looks pretty good but the out side to me is pretty bland and boring. Looks like ****. I hope it does well, but just not my taste. I have lost allot of respect for C&D over the last year or 2 and defiantly with there thoughts on this car.

Nah it's okay no one really cares about repost. It's just a way for us to vent our daily frustration.

Thought we knew there was no SS?

Btw, what's up with the G5? Anybody know? Only *future* vehicle Pontiac.com has is the sexy ass Solstice Targa.

Maybe hope for a G5 replacement performance edition..

It has already ben said that they are canceling the g5 as well as the g6. All that will remain of Pontiac is the soltice and the g8. It will be GM's performance division.

Maybe the cruze from the front but that's about it. To me that still doesn't look aggressive. If there wasn't a SS cobalt I wouldn't have bought one of those ether. I would still have to say from all other angles the cobalt looks better. I have always said the front of the cruze looks decent with the exception or the headlights.

Thats funny, thats the only thing I think that sucks with the cobalt. hahahaha

I like the front alot, and this is like looking at the base or LS cobalt's... the SS WOULD look much more sick, but it prob wont be made. So compair an LS/LT/LTZ Cobalt to this thing... and

Cruze > Cobalt.

I think he means the interior of the cruze is the one he likes.

And that's essentially the point I'm trying to make - we don't know what Cruze SS might look like so it's hard to judge that from a regular model.
