Despite some comments in the past that Chevy would put more focus on the SS badge in a return to its performance roots, the Cruze will max out with an RS version -- not exactly the pavement-screamer that many Chevy fans have been waiting for.

Oh well. For those who don't need the size or flat-out aggression of the Camaro, there's still some time get your fix with a Cobalt SS before the Cruze replaces it.
