The company is holding its line on not deploying the SS branding to every model—in fact, at this point the only Chevy so badged is the Camaro—and as such, there won’t be a Cruze SS.i hear it will be a buick verano
That doesn’t, however, rule out the possibility of an engine with more power than what’s currently offered for the car—two four-cylinder motors with 138 hp each. Rather than a sport-oriented Cruze SS, GM is considering a more-luxurious Cruze, which would include the option for an upgraded powerplant. GM’s product planners have a number of options to choose from, should they go this route: there’s a 182-hp 2.4-liter four used in the Buick Regal and upcoming Verano, as well as a 2.0-liter turbo four that’s tuned to make between 220 and 260 hp.
But with GM focusing on mainstream models, its sales and profits are up. Besides, there already is some Chevy performance available on the cheap: the 312-hp, rear-drive Camaro starts at $23,530.

...here are the articles' highlights:
• 0-60 MPH = 8.1 sec.
• 0-¼ MILE = 16.2 sec @ 86.8 mph
• Top Speed = 130 mph (electronically limited)
• Skidpad = 0.84 G
• Slalom = 67.3 mph
• Curb Weight = 3050 lbs.
Seems to be just as fast as a stock Z24...
