07 SS to 11 1LT Yesterday, August 4, I traded my beloved 2007 Impala SS with 76,310 miles for a 2011 Chevy Cruze 1LT with the 1.4 turbo. I'm going to miss the SS for sure, but i've already put 100 miles on the Cruze in a day and only used 3.4 gallons. It's white and already ordered the K&N intake and next is the window tint next week!

Another one bites the dust! Sad to see another LS4 go but if you want to be economical then you made a good choice lol. Has anyone heard of or seen any modded Cruzes? Post some pics!

I'm sure we'll begin to see cylinder head advancements,, as well as camshafts very soon.
The biggie is the turbo, which I believe is built into the exhaust manifold. Will the aftermarket respond with a more conventional header/turbo/up-pipe setup, or will they be porting stock manifolds and installing a larger compressor/turbine?

I am wondering, if you still enjoyed the Impala, why did you trade it in for an economy car?
If you traded to gain better gas mileage, why not buy a used $2-5K Honda or Toyota for a DD?
The Cruze is a nice car...congrats!

I am a car salesman at a local GM salesman. I love the Cruze! I didn't want leather again. Just a want not a need. I love the feel and look of the cloth in these things and they are so much more comfy than the leather. I got this thing for $17,840 after my GM discount and my employee discount. $11,500 for my 07 SS. Pricing it on the lot for $14,490 after a full car buff, fix my dented fender, and a new passenger front wheel hub assembly. Always been a Chevy guy and alway will be
