The catch? It can’t be a performance car. Has to be one of these 5. What do you get Oppo? Edit: I will allow EVs and hybrids too btw.

I’d get the base Impala with the only option being the V6. (Thanks Chevy, for making the bigger engine options available on all trims!)

Also, is having twenty inch rims on the Impala still cool, when you can get 19" rims from the factory?

Why wouldn’t you get the impala? Provided you couldn’t sell it, use it as a cheap DD and spend the money on something fun. bigger is also better. although it would be more useful if it was a wagon.

Spark EV all day long. 320lb/ft and a lower center of gravity in something that normally had less than 100hp/tq? Sign me the fuck up.

Whatever combination nets the highest resale value so I can sell it and use the money for something I actually want.

If that’s not allowed, cruze hatch I guess.

As much as I would want a Cruze diesel hatch, I would go with a Volt.

Chevy Cruze hatchback, with the diesel engine. It’d made a really great work car for me, with the mileage and comfort being a major step up from the Focus.

Astra SRi Cruze hatch in RS spec.

Also, damn the Spark is expensive in Yankistan. Especially when you consider $10,000 Canadian is like $5 American.

Do I get to pick one of these?

It’s still only five cars, Viva, Adam, Corsa, Astra and Insignia.

I’d go for the Vauxhall Astra GTC Limited Edition, 1.6T 16v 200 (197bhp).

I guess I would choose the Volt. If it’s got to be boring, it might as well not cost much to run.

Chevy Volt or Chevy Bolt. I’ve been wanting a plug-in hybrid or electric car for a while. Both of these would fit the bill nicely.

I don’t even think it does anything for performance, I think it’s just an appearance package.

This was hard. Like brutally hard. They did have some workable variants of the Cruze, so I went with that. Ended up at $30,045 before their discount.

2018 Cruze Hatchback, Diesel, 6MT, Kinetic Blue Metallic, Jet Black Leather, Interior Protection Package (rubber floor mats, a requirement where I live), Leather Package (heated leather-wrapped wheel), Performance Brake Package (because if they offer it, there must be something particularly shitty about the base ones due to aggressive cost cutting), Painted Moldings (so it’s less obvious that it is a commuter appliance), the black bow ties (to subdue the Chevy), and the stainless door sill plates.

It isn’t completely depressing. It’s a fairly unattractive car with a particularly ugly rear end, but it comes in colors that allow me to ironically highlight it *and* draw attention to the car. The engine has good torque numbers, which is all that matters when you drive in traffic and at artificially-low speeds (where I live, these are constants), plus it has an available manual, for which I must give GM props, because a lot of manufacturers are removing the option. I really think I could live with this and not have a sense of absolute self-loathing every time I get in it.

The downside, of course, is dealing with Chevy dealers and their service centers, plus their notoriously-poor quality.

Alternatively, I’d strongly consider the Chevy Bolt because it’s a fairly practical electric car and electric would be good on my commute.

Almost identical to mine. Considering Chevy’s love of producing niche market named variants, it could be the Chevy Cruze Oppo Spec or Jalop Spec.

GM’s car sizes are all wonky and the rental fleets eat them up because of it. Their Spark is a large city car, their Sonic is just shy of compact size, the Cruze might as well be a mid size, the Malibu is a traditional mid size, and the Impala is really intended to be sold to police departments.

I’ve heard a rumor that these push 180 hp with a $500 chip tune. That might actually be entertaining. I had a Sonic as a rental a few years ago - it’s a pretty solid, if uninspiring car. More power would help.

I wouldn’t be surprised, just carrying the tradition of factory GM tunes. The Ecotec 2.0L Turbo had a factory tune that brought it from 260 hp/260 lb-ft to 290hp/340 lb-ft.

I prefer the Holden front end.

Though I’ll stick with the Astra GTC.
