Cruze SS pic (a members idea)
cruze is expensive as it is :p dont want to add more thousands for another fascia and they may take forever redesigning the battery for more pwr, lol

This is by far the coolest concept I've seen in YEARS. The only thing close to it is the Camaro, and honestly I like this a better. If GM were smart enough to produce this they would rake in the money like it's nobody's business. If someone has someone they know at GM PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send this their way. I would buy one in a heartbeat if it were produced and looked like this. Silver, go work for GM NOW!!!!!!!! haha. Damn this thing's cool.
Oh, and parkbench ftmfw haha

Wow, if only GM would produce something like that. GM needs to understand that with current gas prices cars with 15MPG aren't going to sell. While the Camaro and Corvette ZR1 are indeed badass, how many of those cars do they really plan on selling? Better yet, how many people do you think are on the market for one of those, compared with the majority of the consumers interested in buying a new car? The market for those cars is pretty slim, yet GM wonders why when they dump billions into producing these things then they bankrupt themselves when they realize the market just isn't there.
GM should have designed a RWD turbo 4 banger, either with the Cobalt or the Cruze. Design something that looks nice, is reasonably quick, priced right, and gets great fuel economy. Why does GM always fail to do this?

In case you weren't aware, these two things do not go hand in hand. FWD gained so much popularity for a multitude of reasons, with one of them being better MPG's.

is going to be another ecotec engine car? with forced induction?
it would be badass if they put the 3.6VVT with forced induction... it would be hella powerfull and still get good MPG... and i agree rear wheel drive would be the way to go!
on another not that holden coupe is now my back ground! its sexy!

Urmm... this is basically a Cobalt replacement. 26 highway MPG from said V6 is not acceptable.
