i think that if they ever make a ss version with the LNF that all you people saying, you wouldn't buy it, would probably change your mind. the interior looks very sexy and the exterior looks more like a sports sedan but in ss trim i would think it would look a lot more aggressive.

 

chevy is stopping making the cobalt due to its motors origin. Saab owns the rights to the ecotec motor. And with gm no longer owning saab, thanks to the resecion.Thats why no more cobalt. The cruze is still going to have a pretty good motor. There using a holden (australian gm) 1.8l. And i think i had heard rumors about a turbo option.

 

Uhhhhh....NO.

You shouldn't post things when you don't know what you're talking about.

Step away from the keyboard and learn something. Please.

 

Ecotec (capitalized ECOTEC, from 'Emissions Control Optimisation TEChnology') is a General Motors (GM) trademark that refers to a series of emissions technologies that were implemented throughout a range of GM engines. ECOTEC can refer to the following diesel and petrol engines produced by General Motors:

Ecotec Family 1 and Family 0 - straight-4 DOHC engines produced by GM Powertrain Europe and GM Daewoo.
Ecotec Family II - Straight-4 all-aluminium DOHC engines produced by GM Powertrain Europe.
Ecotec V6 - a version of the Series II 3800 V6 engine, produced by the Holden Engine Company between 1995 and 2004.
CDTI Ecotec - common rail diesel engines for Opel cars, produced by Fiat (MultiJet)
VCDi Ecotec - common rail diesel engine for Chevrolet and Opel, produced by GM Daewoo (a licensed VM Motori RA 420 SOHC)
DTI Ecotec - diesel engines for use in Opel cars, produced by Isuzu (Circle L).


nope, don't see Saab anywhere in here.. (wikipedia)

 

I don't care about the motor, or if that's true or not, doesn't matter to me really. No amount of reasoning would make me happy about the departure of the cobalt.

Cruze is ugly
Cobalt is Hot as hell
'nough said

 

thanks for explaining i was mis-informed on the ecotec thing. But holden does make a holden cruze. Which is the same body and size as the chevy cruze. They also use a 1.8l motor that makes the same specs as the chevy cruze. Now im just wondering were chevy is getting there 1.4t from since holden uses a 2.0t diesel as a second option not a 1.4l.

My source- http://www.holdencampaign.com.au/cruze/#/home

but i hear you. still not going to buy one.

 

I think they are using a 1.4t as opposed to a 2.0t diesel because not to many cars in the US run on diesel (I could be wrong). Although it may have something to do with emissions as well.

 

From the article

"...we're not ashamed to say it – we like it. Of course, we're comparing it to the current small car in GM's lineup, the Cobalt, so the bar is pretty low."

Ouch.

 

 

only in SS form.

 

x2...

 

What car will Chevy have when they get rid of the Cobalt for younger customers? The Cruze screams middle aged man..no thanx Chevy.

 

not any more then a new civic does.. in fact i see a lot of resemblance..

 

cruze is wack!!

 

i think that its pretty gay that they replaced the cobalt with the "cruze" although i kinda like having the last year of the cobalt
