I know what you meant, my response didn't come out right. the cruze and pacifica both iirc have the exhaust exposed, which, fair enough, since the only thing that could handle the heat (but still probably only cat back) is aluminum, and that's expensive and it corrodes with salt exposure. I can understand that, but plastic underpans really should be standard, and as a plus they help with road noise and rust protection. Car manufacturers act like the 2025 CAFE goals need to be met incrementally instead of just getting as good as they can as soon as they can. like they're afraid they'll change the numbers or something.
