Yes please.

would be a good choice. offering hatch fans a oil burner, since the architecture is the same cost of swapping into hatch should be very minimal

I just hope the Diesel will be available in the Premier + RS trim.

Sup Jim ? Are you thinking about a bigger GM to help ya with all òf the bodies ya have to carry around ?..or just more luggage space ?

OK then we'll put smurfboards upon IT and go Smurfing .

I really hope GM builds the diesel version of a hatch ... and that they offer up the manual transmission straight from the European region that's been blessed with a manual diesel since day 1. They could also offer up the 1.6L Turbo from the Buick Cascada as a Cruze SS version ... 200 horsepower in a lil Cruze wouldn't be so bad, would it? Or maybe even the 2.4L turbo that could push close to 300 ponies. Now THAT would be a fun Cruze to own! (not to mention competing with the blue oval boys and their Focus) There's obviously a market for that kind of car.

Looking to replace the '03 Protege5 in 2018 with another compact hatchback. Not an oil burner, just posted the article for the diesel freaks here.

Thanks - my thoughts exactly. Stopped by a Chevy dealer recently (Paul Masse in East Providence, RI) and wandered around looking at the new Cruzes. I shared your same thoughts with a salesman, who listened politely and said "Uh-huh". Oh well, if more of us voice our diesel/manual transmission/SS wishes, they might come true.
