GM will not make an AWD cruze or rwd cruze because they would be too expensive and the base models would not sell.

No I will not be buying a cruze or any other chevy for my next car. My next car will be a midsize awd daily driver.

What really?!?!?! You getting rid of performance or you going WRX or something like Legacy or something SUV. You leaving performance?

Personally, this is my first american car and I'm happy with the performance and price, I may go american again.

There's a high chance I'll get a Cruze SS.

Unlike the show car that GM rolled out back in January (and unlike the Buick's European counterpart), all-wheel drive will not be available on U.S.-spec models.

I've driven a couple of the Cruize's. I liked them alot. However, after my Cobalt turning into a pice of **** pretty quickly, I'm not gonna buy another cheap GM. Nope. If I buy small, it's gonna be Honda or VW. Companies that can make small cars that don't self destruct.

My next car will have IRS. The Cobalt is the first twist beam car I have owned, and it is good on smooth pavement, but on anything else, it is poor. So the Cruze loses by default. I am not really interested in a Cruze LNF or whatever, if it is only driveable on smooth pavement.

Stratos FTW, Bugatti is no fun anymore since all the dumb people that know nothing about cars are saying they want one now.

IMO, the best exotic is the car that most people havent heard of.

I'd have to go kinda off the board and say my ultimate dream car is a Ferrari Testarossa. Dunno. Just always wanted one when I was a kid. But if I'd have to be realistic, I'd have to go for some kind of Porsche. Baller, but classy at the same time. Gotta be a 911/Carrera style though..

If you ever use your trunk then no you wouldn't.

I was hell bent on getting one a couple weeks ago, test drove a brand spankin' new GSR with the SSS package for a good discounted price...absolutely loved the car. Drove like it was on rails and those recaros were to die for. We got back to the dealership and I started inspecting the car thoroughly and going through the "first mods" thoughts, back seat was kind of small, but livable and people could ride in it. Then I opened the trunk...That was the end of my desire. I golf, I bowl, I like to occasionally carry things larger than a shoe box in my trunk. If ANYONE seriously considers an Evo X...you 100% must pop the trunk before signing any papers...that thing was an embarrassment to all trunks. It's about 1 and a half feet deep because of the relocated battery and washer fluid reservoir and about 3 and a half feet wide with the SSS package's subwoofer...probably just shy of 4 feet wide without that package.

Luckily I only put shoeboxes in my trunk. lol

Honestly, that's one odd thing about the Cobalt. Small trunk opening, but large actual trunk..
