If the Cruze SS exist, would you trade in your Cobalt?

Either for the Cruze SS or Buick Regal GS?

Me personally... before I got my LNF and was sporting a LSJ, I'd say yes without a doubt (to Cruze SS), but now that I have my LNF and I like it so much, I just don't think I can right away. Maybe after I get 100k miles I will, but for now, I like my Cobalt.

I'm not much of a fan of the Buick Regals body, but I do like the concept drawings and stuff everyones posted on the Cruze SS. I thinkt that's sexy, but not the regals so much.

Anyway, just a conversation starter.

Regal GS looks nice, but the huge turnoff for me is the lack of a manual... it only comes with a shiftable slushbox. Another issue is that my SS/SC has more HP than the engine for the Regal (I'm stage 2, btw).

And the Cruise SS probably won't even come to pass. The car isn't designed for the enthusiasts like us.

Financially, no. These cars aren't worth **** and I'd find myself backwards on my loan. If i had the thing payed off, however, I would jump into a Regal SS in a heart beat!

If the Cruze turns out to be anything like the Saturn Astra... you couldn't PAY me to own one.

The brakes are WAY too touchy and for some reason the Astra that GM brought over rides like ass and has alot of stupid issues.

Oh I'm sure you'd take one if someone paid you. I would, pfft. I'd get paid then sell it.

No for both. I like my Cobalt SS/TC but at this point in my life in can afford something nicer than a Cobalt or Cruze if I wanted to. I dunno if I like the looks of the Buick. Maybe it looks different in person.

I would consider it if it's a coupe and they put the LNF in it.

show me where it says this, because everywhere I read it is coming with a 6spd manual, (because the exact car overseas the Opel OPC insignia and Vauxhall Insignia VXR both have 6spd) and every blog on edmunds and every where else says 6spd...?


But back to the cruze, depending on the price, if it had ~300 and an lnf, or just turbo car in general, very possible, the interior is nice. I looked at the regal the other day, just to get a feel for what the GS would be, and its kinda big...

Than again i have a 0% interest loan on my SS so there is no real rush to get rid of it....

Its almost 700 lbs heavier than a Cobalt in FWD form. Add in a few hundred more for AWD and you have a slow car that probably doesn't even get very good mileage.
