When it looks "good" one has to wonder *why* they just don't go ahead and make it part of the original body design?!? (I know: $-$-$-$).

That molding-insert in rear-bumper facia really helps to make the rear end look cleaner and less bloated than it is.

Both very true statements, CUDA. I agree, that RS rear bumper can look large, especially for a small car, but that lower insert does look good while helping to disguise and break up that quite a bit. I do really like the overall appearance and stance the RS package adds to the car.

Sadly, we bought our LTZ before the RS-package was made available.

I know the RS package was introduced at the 2010 New York Int'l Auto Show, so late first quarter/early second quarter, but when was it made available?

...the factory had a short period where apparently some RS component wasn't fitting, so RS production was temporarily halted:

We got our LTZ in Nov'10.

RS package production started the week of November 5, 2010, after more than a three week delay, with a delivery around mid December. The problem was with the side skirts not staying attached to the car. The skirts were reworked and put back into production. I give GM kudos for getting it right, it's a nice looking package.

Is the RS package available where you are, or in any of the European market for that matter?

There's actually a sportier version here called Cruze with Body Kit, equivalent to the US Cruze RS in a way, as far as the exterior goes. It's a 1.6 L engine, 124 HP and a 5 gear manual transmission. Has the lip spoiler, side skirts, RS type bumpers only thing is, its not reffered to as an RS, no bagdes no nothing. No side markers also! Check out some pics of Body Kit Cruzes aka RS versions here in Croatia. Original Chevy product, no aftermarket work on any of these. Let me know what yall think!
