That's asking a lot.

 

Here is what I am looking to replace my SS with next fall. I will have over 80,000 miles on it by then. I saw this car at the Detroit Auto Show last year and it looks even better in person. G.B.

My son just bought a new 2011 WRX for 29K.

 

Not sure what I will buy. There is a lot of new GM product coming we have not been shown yet. The next 5-6 years will be interesting.

I hope the new Colorado will be a better truck as I would like to go back to a nice small truck again.

 

I have been following the Buick Regal Program for awhile. The Regal GS shows a lot of promise, Killer looks, Ecotec engine, which can easily be tuned, just like the HHR-SS. Just might be my next car. Few goodies, could kick some serious booty.
As to the Kia thing...Jesses, you got to be kidding me. Some peoples taste is all in their mouth. Talk about a womans car. No self respecting male would ever be see driving that P.O.S.[my unabaised opinion]. I wonder if they give you a pair of colored woman's panties when you are driving this thing. "Moon"

 

I wonder how much the GS will cost, and when was the last time a Buick had a manual tranny??

 

I am guessing that the GS might start at $30,000 since the current 220 hp 2.0 L turbo starts at $28,000 and goes to $34,000. I think the last Buick manual was in an 80's Buick Skyhawk Turbo. G.B.

 

If one were to buy the Cruze before the 2.0 comes out, would there be a Stage 1 Upgrade offered or something similar? If they could get the 0-60 times around 7 seconds or so it would be palatable.

 

Lets first see if they do a SS with the 2.0 first then we will worry about a Turbo Upgrade.

GM made good money on the upgrade so I am sure we will see it show up on more models soon. Last I heard they were working on a SS but it still needs to be approved. I suspect we have a good shot of getting one.

 

The Kia Optima looks interesting:
