2011 Chevrolet Cruze RS package

I saw this car this morning and had to share.  We've had many Chevy Cruzes come through the doors but this one is sporting the new RS package and just looks a lot...well, cooler.  I really like the add ground effects with the fog lamps up front, overall it add a more aggressive stance to Chevy's compact sedan.



The RS package includes the addition of rocker moldings and unique front and rear fascias, an uplevel instrument cluster, front fog lamps and a rear spoiler.  As you can see from the pic on the right this particular Cruze also got the 17" Alloy wheels, the sunroof, and special metallic black granite paint.  It looks black inside but the metallic flakes really stand out in the sunlight.


RS badging, I originally thought the dealership had just taken RS badging from a Camaro and stuck it on the doors of the Cruze but apparently it was done at the factory.

This is the rest of the window sticker, the car includes some nice features, remote start, 4 cyl Turbo, unfortunately it has the automatic transmission, I was hoping it would have a 6 speed manual and really make the car fun to drive.  At least the transmission has the option to control it with a manual setting, I don't know, it just isn't the same as having a clutch if you ask me.

The selling price on this one is $22,484.  Not a bad price for the styling, handling and value that you get.  Oh and did I mention that this Cruze gets up to 38 mpg on the highway?
