I bought an 08 LS new in 08....still have it . Love it. No performance mods. Automatic. I have always been impressed with the off line pep that the 2.2 puts out, and when you get on it on highway entrance ramps - like 2nd gear etc. Why is the guts of this little powerhouse always not talked about? Slowbalt? Not really IMHO. Drove a 09 SS turbo on a used lot and the only really impressive thing was 2nd gear rush. No engine growl. For that kind of money? Gotta do more than that for me . I like my 2.2, period. Only cost me about $14500 off the lot. The Cruze will have a 1.8? Ha....ha....
08 LS still lots of fun

I personally think the 2.2 LS is pretty quick sometimes... fast no, but like entering on ramps, and downshifting and things like that, it's pretty energetic...

cobalt ls isn't fast. especially auto stock. but it is however dominant when it comes to hp/trq in its respective class.
