I spent a lot of time on the cruzetalk forums a couple weeks back reading diesel topics. There are some issues with the Cruze diesel and the DEF tank, so a lot of people were commenting why does the Cruze diesel have a DEF tank and the Vdubs don't yada, etc. Well, here ya go..........- 83 replies

Chevrolet News:2016 Chevrolet SS Gets A Nip and Tuck
regfootball replied to William Maley's topic in Chevrolet
let's enjoy the car for what it is and that it is still available. I would love a white SS manual + MT. It could never be a daily driver for me in winter here or in daily traffic but as a good fun car or trip car it would be the bomb. I'd make better use of this than a current Camaro. A 16 Camaro 2.0 turbo MT would be a nice garage companion to this -
this is a big deal, isn't it....kudos for their cleverness, but you usually get caught in this day and age,
-
well, it's European so its automatically good/better, right? Just like Japan.
-
frogger, the newest pics like those and the ones on Motor trend dot com, it does look pretty marketable. Honda has all bases covered with this car. It is not my cup of tea for Hondas usually, but this is the first honda i may seek out to check out. It looks like there is a decent interior and good rear leg room (much more than a malibu of now actually)
-
dash is bland but in line with the sort of look Hondaphiles seem to be ok with. the exterior is improved but dare i say slightly bloated. civic is now what accord was 10-15 years ago simultaneous intro with new cruze will blunt the chance for the Cruz to conquest buyers the cars in this class that give more leg room will benefit in the market, i think Honda gets it
-
improved, still bland outside but the German fanbois will eat it up. The inside is much better. Looks like it has a real trunk now too.
-
one reason models grow one class or whatever, their original demographic gets older and the class of car grows with it.......

C/D tested the Malibu turbo twice, before and after the refresh. Best run was 6.2 sec to 60 and 14.8 @ 97 mph. Motor Trend got roughly the same, the Regal GS 2.0T was a tick faster. I said CTS, not ATS. yup, i had some dyslexia there.....
-
how does this work on ice
-
good, for a honda actually. i thought the new cruze would spank this but i can see the fanbois will probably lean towards the hondas.....
-
C/d tested the old turbo Mali at 5.9 IIRC. 3900 pound ATS? Wth! For a car with no room? And It only gets 25mpg or 24, combined. Mali at 3200 pounds is a great engineering achievement and closer to rivals like passat and Altima. Hopefully it hasn't lost the solid feel GM cars have, heavier doors, solid thunks, non flexy. sheet metal........ Big key for me with the 2.0 even if it loses power, is it refined.
-
agree on the power issue......more specifically the base engine. the 2.0 is flat out too expensive. I don't care if it weighs less. The specs should be about 5-10% more power and torque. how this will sell? ultimately it has all to do with cheap leases if they want in roads in this segment. I know 2 people that keep rolling into new altima leases all the time. They like the car enough that its a no decision to just get a new one when its time because its so cheap. if you want to compete you have to have the 999 down 219 a month leases. FOR A CAR WITH A FEW OPTIONS. Chevy leases the Cruze pretty well and i know of one person who got a cruze who never would have otherwise if it weren't for the cheap lease. honda, toyota, nissan, hyundai, they make it SO EASY to get their models on the road in this segment. GM almost never does that.
-
is power seat available on standalone on LS? I think its std on Fusion SE.......
-
the 2.0t rwd i would enjoy a lot, just sucks that i live in a winter state that makes it impractical to own rwd cars as a primary vehicle. But 3700 pounds and with the size it is, the 2.0 will move it nicely and i bet it handles great. 1 year after intro there will be a base or level 1 2.0 CT6 rotting on the showroom floor because everyone will buy the v6, and then it will be nicely discounted. I guess I won't have won the lottery by then anyways.

This is also pent up demand still from the 3-4 years that no one bought cars hardly. But still they drive cars
-
i admit its small, but i like Regals, i do like the others as well. Are used XTS or new body CTS off the price charts?
-
new and used prices go up when the credit faucet is wide open. people can't afford this stuff unless the rates are low and they are lending

Trim Levels, Pricing, Configurator For '16 Camaro Revealed!
regfootball replied to El Kabong's topic in Chevrolet
Once the reviews roll in, I think the bitching about pricing will go away. I'm most interested in seeing what a nicely optioned turbo with stick would go for. I'd want the high contrast interior and a moonroof to take away the claustrophobia. A nice option to some crappy FRS. I'd consider the v6 but I hope gm's six gets smoother one of these days. Side note. By the time Camaro six sales are in full swing maybe there will be big discounts on ATS coupes. -
Looks amazing.
-
I tested the Ford Focus 1.0 6 speed mt awhile back check it out in reader reviews. I have no idea why ford sticks with 5 speeds with the base motor and fiesta
