HSV To Build Performance Small Car Off Locally-Assembled Holden Cruze | The Motor Report: Auto News And Reviews

Well they have had plenty of practice ricing up Commodores ever since about 1996 so they should be able to do a good 4cyl

Can't wait for the huge air intakes and massive spoiler. I wonder if there will be a factory option for neons and HDT LED washer jets?

GTS/R wing would look right at home on the back of a Cruze i reckon...

Forgot the Canon.

Well, it seems I might be the one who thinks that HSV might have a good idea by working over a Cruze.

It's a reasonably attractive, if unoriginal design, but has the potential to be turned into a neat performance mini-Commo. Provided HSV don't get carried away with the plastic bits and fit it with decent wheels and suspension bits, it could be ok. The only problem might be the price. Start putting too many bucks on it and the competition starts getting pretty serious.

I'm excited to see what they can do with this

Since the Cruze came out I've thought it'd be a good platform for some performance parts and a bit of show. Let's hope they bring the AWD platform/engine from the Insignia across and slap it into the Cruze for a bit of AWD 4cyl TT action

Could see some fun results there!!

I was looking at a Cruze before deciding on the Commodore; decided I wanted something locally built and didn't want to wait til they bring the Cruze over here.

Had this been an option now, I would definitely have looked at it seriously - I think there's some good work to be done here!

LS3? The LS7 will drop straight it. Perhaps an LS9 option too If for some crazy reason they want to stick with a 4 banger, then this should do the job nicely.

[minux]

hmm good idea, but i will stick to my wrx...if hsv made these a awd turbo 6 option or something it could be interesting, but powerful fwd cars are just stupid.

[Sphinx]

just like the Borion with 200 killer wasps!

you sir, are an artist lol

Here goes my input

[Sphinx]

nice, but needs a rediculously big wing on the back, bonnet vents, side vents, daytime running lights and a muuuuch bigger cooler.

Cool, more go fast bits for my "other car"!

I've already put 18's on it and lowered it - couldn't help myself.
