He said no plans right now. Of course he can't really talk about future products but I was hoping he'd slip up with a hint. But no such luck.

Cruze SS 4 Door AWD would be sick!

Should look a little classy, and perform good enough in the snow for a daily, and have enough space for stuff. Maybe even a kid sometime soon lol.

the replacement engine for the lnf, aka 2.0 I4 turbo is crap from GM...the bill duncan even said its garbage. So dont expect a ss or awd to be good with that engine, ldk or something.

Can you elaborate on why it's garbage? I was under the impression that is was simply a de-tuned LNF. LDK is it. Supposed to be in the new Buick GS also.

uses a different turbo, non twin scroll. gmpp couldnt get the same power out of the engine with it, only very low 200's. He didnt like or recommend it for "performance" use. I think someone on the site found they were switching to mitsubishi turbo..
