I wouldn't be waiting around for an all-wheel drive performance Cruze if you're looking to buy within the next year or so. We haven't even seen if they're going to introduce a coupe or hatch yet. Either case, it's more than likely still a couple model years away.
By then there may be a Saab 9-1 with the Haldex XWD system (also on Delta-II/Global Compact Car) if you're looking for a performance turbocharged compact from GM with all-wheel drive. And by the time GM does could introduce something I'm hoping we'll have a new Focus RS or ST stateside which I'd probably choose over a Cruze SS.

Here you go sir. It really has some good body lines to work with, and that front end just looks intimidating IMO. If they had that w/ a tuned up LNF and AWD, I'd be all over it as long as it was under 28K, which it should be.

just bein honest, it doesnt look horrible, but w/o a ton of work i think it would look cheap. if its done right it could look good, but that will be a lot of work and not to mention cutting holes in your dash
thanks man. At least someone gave me an honest opinion.lol. He got it off ebay along with the gauges. It'll look a little diff when its actually installed the base of it will be covered by the dash cover and the more i drive with it the more i like it.lol. Its diff I have seen like one subi with the same set up it's sick. I juat wanted something diff. Every ricer and their mom has the 3 gauges on the pillar.lol. Anyone else's opinion?
sorry guys i will try to get some today if the rain lets up. there really isnt much to see though. its the corner where the stock sub is(removed) covered with plastic w/ a layer of fiberglass over most of the plastic. its not even close to looking like a box.
post #27 in this thread is the spot im putting it. mine is gonna be a lil different though.

dude, this has to be engraved on a strut bar guys, it can't be that crazily detailed
the logo can be one thing, but the bar can only be so finite.
how about this....
i can change the counties, just give me feedback...

I'm not in a hurry. I'm happy with the SC, so waiting a couple years is no biggie. I should be done with school by then and making some decent $ and the car will be paid off by then. The Focus RS does look sick though, but I am pretty impressed with what I saw of the pictures of the modified cruze. It has potential IMO.
Here you go sir. It really has some good body lines to work with, and that front end just looks intimidating IMO. If they had that w/ a tuned up LNF and AWD, I'd be all over it as long as it was under 28K, which it should be.
