Chevrolet Considering Cruze SS and Four-Door Coupe to fill Small, Sporty Car Segment

Recent reports have surfaced stating that Chevrolet is looking for a new car to fill the small, sporty car segment and the possible contender is the Cruze SS and a four-door coupe version.  The Cruze SS will feature a 260 horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the Colbalt SS and Solstice GXP.  Other possible modifications would include an all-wheel drive system, which would mitigate the effects of torque steer common to front-wheel drive cars, and the torsion beam rear axle will need to be swapped for a multi-link setup.
