Ok guys so I was watching a webchat with Bob Lutz over at GM's Blog site and this caught my attention. And should catch some of yours as well

 

well thats interesting....

 

I was actually just thinking about that last night. I really hope GM makes a Cruze SS and does it RIGHT. I really like the front of the car and an even more aggressive front end (SS style) would look awesome. Hopefully the offer it in (at least) a coupe and change up the rear-end 'cause it looks horrible on the Cruze sedan. LNF-type performance/potential would be great. We'll see... I'm pullin for the General on this one.

 

long as its a coupe

 

I know this pic has been posted a lot but I would f'ing LOVE for it to look like this. I would buy it in a heartbeat (assuming power matches the looks haha)

 

It probably won't be an SS it will be a Z#. Whatever it is I hope they put the LNF in it.

 

And who's going to design said "high-performance derivative" when they disbanded the group in charge of these for years .

 

dude if it looks like that, ill put my order in right now

 

Honestly, I'm expecting the same thing. I don't know why but I have a feeling it may not be an "SS". I'm thinking something in the "Z" series as well, but we shall see.

That might not be a bad thing

 

they could easily use the lnf ... it wouldn't take all that much work for it ..

and gm knows about that photoshop.. there was a thread about it .. and when they got the chop they said they were surprised there wasn't more pull for the astra redline...

 

That looks amazingly bad ass... I would buy that **** in a heartbeat.

 

astra redline would be the ****....i would buy either one

 

I think they would be dumb to NOT make a high performance model of the Cruze (but I think we are all on the same page there lol). And that concept photochop is real nice! However when I look at it I can't help but think it would end up being like a Scion TC in real life (the roof line to the trunk area anyway)? But either way 4 bangers are the new way to get good performance and good MPG and I am glad to see that at least SOMEONE at GM sees it too.

 

^^Amen to that man

 

i heart bob lutz

 

***GM's RESPONSE*** Cruze SS
https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/2010-future-cruze-discussions-162/%2A%2A%2Agms-response%2A%2A%2A-cruze-ss-144747/

/\ This is an old thread but you get the idea. I sent them a big list of piratical things that should be on the Cruze SS. The list was passed through the GM Performance division

GM Performance has seen that picture.

Well...the group wasnt completely disbanded. Some of the top guys are still around and yes these guys know there stuff and it wouldn't be the best to start over.

 

that car is ******* amazing looking, hopefully they will put a lnf engine in it. if so im odering mine now and saying good by to my 09 ss/tc that car is just ****** mean lookin. But now that i gov owns gm i doubt this will happen but we shall see.

 

Id live in my parents house for the next 5 years if I'm able to get a loan for that. Good lord I want that

 

^^hahaha for real

 

Wow that thread said we would get the stage kits soon as of the end of last year.

 

Well GM has been through alot since then.

 

Looks interesting but I'm hoping this is my last "entry level" car. I love my current SS and my previous SS/SC but 7 to 8 years from now I think I'll want something a bit more luxurious. Must be my old age catching up with me...

 

you must not have seen the cruze interior lol

 

Bump for morning guys cause this is in an odd section!

 

the cruze cup holders better not be shitty..... I wont buy another bad cup holder car.
