I would get one if it were directed a little more toward people like us.
But I would consider it a huge downgrade performance wise from my LSJ.

Terrible commercial. GM might have said "We know the Civic is a much better car than what we made in the past, but now we think we might be competitive."

are some of you really saying the 1.4 turbo is pointless?

40 mpg while keeping acceleration comparable to its competitors. tell me another way to do that?

and as for taking a civic or a cruze. i see a civic over a cobalt anyday but tell me why you think a civic is superior to a cruze, unless your just a civic fanboy...

for me:
cruze looks better (opinion)
cruze has better gas mileage
cruze is quieter
cruze interior is better (opinion but reviewers agree)
cruze has a bigger trunk and interior space
and not everyone and their moms will have a cruze when it comes out so more head turning

I have a 79 camaro with 140k, original powertrain still running great and the car looks almost new. Had a 92 firebird i sold it 4 years ago with 237k on it. still see it driving on the streats. Traided in a 85 chevy blazer with 120 k on it for the cobalt. Had a 2000 civic ex that was a total loss when some idiot rear ended me at 20mph. Define better?
