    If I recall correctly, its relatively very heavy, as in 3300 lbs? That's a turnoff for me...I think a car like that should be below 3000lbs for sure.

    I've been driving the LS the last few days (1.8L 6A) and its not bad at all, I like it. The 6A is pretty nice, and it gets pretty ballin mpg

    ^ There is no way Chevy will give that 260HP. Its an entry level car.

    ^ The cobalt was not really entry level because there was the aveo. Did the cruze not sort of take the aveo position? I don't know, and certainly don't care.

    The Chevy Sonic will most likely fill the void for the Aveo. Cruze is a nice looking car. I saw an RS one at a dealer and the RS styling is very nice. Although I'll continue to hold my breath for a Caprice

    Is there anything GM won't slap a SS badge on? A Cruze SS would be gay. Plain and simple.

    That, and they run a 4 inch longer wheel base than the G8. So it's a bit different. I'd swap a Holden front end for sure.

    The cruze is ugly.. and so is the new sonic.
