2011 Chevrolet Cruze
Car enthusiasts are divided on whether the Cruze can satisfactorily replace the Cobalt SS for the 2011 model year. A report from Motor Authority states that the Cobalt SS is sorely missed and many fans are hoping that General Motors will revive the SS nomenclature for a high performance version. There are no indications that this will be so but you can't stop fans from fantasizing.
If ever, the Cruze SS would have a powerplant in the form of the 260-horsepower turbocharged and direct injected 2.0-liter four-cylinder called Ecotec and six-speed manual gearbox as seen in the defunct Cobalt SS and still-available HHR SS, including the very cool Launch Control and No-Lift Shift technology.
However, the Cruze's rear torsion bar suspenders are likely to limit the car's handling prowess slightly. It is believed that a wholesale redesign would cost too high for a low-volume SS model. Analysts speculate that if ever the Cruze SS does get made, it would appear in 2014 at the earliest, during the car's planned mid-cycle refresh.
