Anyone who was holding their breath waiting for General Motors to announce an SS version of the Cruze can officially breathe. However, what you can’t do is get excited; the Cruze will not be wearing the double-S badge. What GM is reportedly considering instead is to offer a more luxurious Cruze. That version would feature a more powerful optional engine, but it’s certainly not the version SS fans were hoping for.
However, rumor has it that our Aussie friends could still get a sporty Cruze. Motor Trend has heard rumblings of a sportier Cruze powered by either the 177-horsepower turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-four or 268-horsepower twin-turbo four-cylinder found on the Opel Astra OPC.
This just proves… well, nothing really. We’ll just have to wait and see what GM actually has in store.
