Guys GM may not be the Leader in car sales but trust me she is 1 of the best challengers!! I bought the cruze few weeks ago and i never thought it would be this much powerful, safe and efficent... It is one of the best... Must at least Test Drive it :D
I love the fact that its built right here in Ohio. It really helps in my decision for a car knowing that I'm helping keep jobs right here in my back yard.
@schiavone402 Yep. They have plants for each respective market. Its a global car meant to replace a horde of cars that used to be specific for each region.
That is why I congratulated you, cuz you know what Im talking about. Many SUV models we have here in my country and also in Europe have Diesel engines and they are most sold than the gasoline version, but the same models in US are only sold Gasoline V6 or I-4 but with a huge displacement, for example Hyundai Santa Fe: you could get the gas version here, same as US, but people here preffer the 2.2 Ltr Turbo Diesel engine, 4wd. I hope we can see more Diesel engines around the US roads.
It is a Daewoo. Called the Daewoo Lacetti, it is virtually identical to the Cruze and offers us the glimpse of what we can expect with the car launches here. Power comes from a 1.6-liter engine which produces 114 hp and can be equipped with either a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic. - World car fan.
They need to put 16" or 17" 10 or 12 spoke alloys on it as a standard feature to get younger buyers. One more thing Chevy should do is change their gold logo color to silver. It will just look so much cooler!
can enyone explain to me what is the best way to drive CHCruze benz(i mean the number of spins) becouse i have Cruze and it spends 14L/100km in city and 10 on open road....
@aust1129ps...There are very strict emmissions standards that many car companies can't meet. Mercedes, audi and vw do but limited. That's why you don't see as many in this contry as you do over seas.
This is going to be another hot seller for GM. The latest products have been unbelievable and everyone I talk to says they will consider the new products. I admit the older cars were junk but things change and perceptions do too. I have a Honda thats rusting, engine is always rough and oil leaks. Can't get rid of it for free. Read the latest Consumer Reports perception survey. Chevy is in the top 3 as most improved.
@aust1129ps The newest addition to the Chevy line will be a true hit in the US as it was in the European countries. The car is stylish, affordable and gets great gas mileage.
That's right. For example my country, Holland. Normal fuel here costs you the lovely price of 1,43 Euro per liter. Diesel costs you more tax but is more economical. So, everyone chooses more for diesel in despite of the environment. Our gouvernment is actuallly making people making the wrong choice.
As far as getting the government money, i believe this is the only time GM had this kind of problem unlike chrysler. Also with being american, they design them overseas since thats where the compition is if you don't realise it so who better to do the underpinning then the top countrys where the best cars are made. Atleast they are doing the right thing, they design the cars overseas but bring them back here to build like in the plant in ohio, so you can't hate GM for that.
They will call this the Holden Cruze in Australia to replace the Astra. It will sell alongside the bigger engined Holden (GM Daewoo) Epica and even larger Commodore (which nobody seems to be buying).
uhh... no. dont get the elantra. this car was tuned on the nurburgring, it will be a proper driver's car. seems like gm's finally doing something right...
Isn't it ironic how you'll have people posting these comments blaming, politicians, corporate greed, etc etc for the situation we're in right now, then put their computers to sleep (if they even bother) and go off shopping at Walmart.
I get why your all upset that the cobalt is gone, if i know right the cruze is bigger then the cobalt so your getting more car for the better mileage. GM is turning around with how they build their cars and run their company. I also agree, i would drive a diesel car if there was an american company who made it. May be more expensive, but you have no spark plugs & it burns cleaner. I like and don't like the cruze has good and bad points but over all shows GM can turn a good product out. GO GM!!!
the cobalt doesnt have "euro" styling and comes with an optional coupe trim and an SS trim for performance lovers and gets up to 36 mpg hwy on regular models. so in other words the majority of the american public thinks it is crap and they think it will fall apart after 20k miles so GM needed to change it's image to let all the dumb people in the world think GM is all new when in fact in recent years there was nothing wrong with their cars. those people are tools to media and it screws us.
Diesel engines now a days are equal or even better than gasoline engines, so you americans have to get use to this fact. The only problem is that you wont need too much petrol so you loose the excuse to start a war.
@willsco76 GM makes the best looking and driving cars? What have you been smoking? I'd like some too. GM hasn't made a great car since the VEGA! Ha Ha! If the Cruze is as reliable as Honda in 10 YEARS, then I"ll buy. Until then fuggetaboutit.
wasnt that what the so-called bailout money was for? i dont get why GM ceo's still have their damn jobs in the first place? when was it ok to screw up at a job and not get fired or get a bonus? Do Mcdanalds workers get a bailout when they fuck up?
No, because you people have made your own fame by yourself. People in US have never wanted to use Diesel, you have always been a Gasoline lovers, with huge V6 and V8 engines for SUVs and all cars, but never looking for Diesel reliability and economy. People in US is under the impression that Diesel is just for Trucks and contruction or farming machinery. If you are one of the few US citizen that realized Diesel has more benefits than gasoline, CONGRATULATIONS!!
I'd rather buy a 1975 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham d'Elegance with a 500 Cubic Inch V8 getting 10mpg and be riding in much better saftey and comfort than this TV Box thank you!
if ford is sooo bad than y are they selling better than most other makers and wayy better than chevy. o and y is the "sub-par" f-150 the best selling vehicle in north-america... just wondering
yeah they change the name so you think its a new car but its the same old crap. just like the ford 500 renamed to Ford Taurus so it would sell. yah my name is JOE and im STUPID i'll change my name to BOB and now im SMART !
lol yeah as long as they keep getting government handouts/tax concessions due to the fact they cannot sell a decent engineered car atm and run a profitable business.
Do not paint the citizens with a broad brush. It is the sins of Detroit that stains us. VW TDI sell out fast. GM is stupid not us. And V8s are rare these days.
The Cruze is a good looking small car.. I think we should think "globally" and put a $15,000 tax on every Toyota Honda Hyundai Kia VW etc ... why not? ... They do it to us! Try to buy a Chevy Cobalt in Japan... it will cost you $45,000 after tariffs! Try to buy anything made in the US in the EC... it will cost you twice as much... but they come to the big dumb US and sell products without even paying US taxes like our own US mfrs.
Well, another modified and rebadged Daewoo....Lets give it a chance a see if it is better than a shitty Aveo, Optra and Epica. They are trying to make a small Malibu with this car, hopefully it will do better than Malibu. At least it has a better rear end than Malibu.
@ThisSubtleDagger It's bullshit that the Cavalier got such a long run, the cobalt comes along and only gets 5 years roughly, then it tossed aside for this ugly waste of plastic.
This vehicle is nothing more than a rebadged Daewoo. We all know how bad the Daewoo based Aveo is. This car will be a flop. It is just more crap from GM GARBAGE!!!!
This South-Korean TV box is for gays indeed. And it's even not a Chevrolet. It's Hyundai. But, that brand didn't fit and so the renamed Hyundai to Chevrolet. Nowadays, my country (Holland) is full of those bumbling TV boxes. LOL.
wow thats stupid looking!!! id rather get the new ford focus its sooo much cooler looking and is built by a company that will be arould for much longer.
hope you didn't or you will be in exactly the same position you were in then! hahaha Want reliability? Buy a freaking Hyundai/Kia only brand snobs think these are shit cars, all reports, surveys, owner satisfaction and lack of warranty issues say very different.
Guys GM may not be the Leader in car sales but trust me she is 1 of the best challengers!! I bought the cruze few weeks ago and i never thought it would be this much powerful, safe and efficent... It is one of the best... Must at least Test Drive it :D

@Spectr4L being a cobalt owner, Im glad they came out with this. Might upgrade after I get the cobalt paid off, cobalts have TOO MANY issues
That is why I congratulated you, cuz you know what Im talking about. Many SUV models we have here in my country and also in Europe have Diesel engines and they are most sold than the gasoline version, but the same models in US are only sold Gasoline V6 or I-4 but with a huge displacement, for example Hyundai Santa Fe: you could get the gas version here, same as US, but people here preffer the 2.2 Ltr Turbo Diesel engine, 4wd.

Nice car, maybe I'll get one when they are released.
the cavaliers are actually pretty quick man. ive worked on those. they are supercharged you know
If they release that turbo model with 40mpg, I'm buying it.
can enyone explain to me what is the best way to drive CHCruze benz(i mean the number of spins) becouse i have Cruze and it spends 14L/100km in city and 10 on open road....
@aust1129ps...There are very strict emmissions standards that many car companies can't meet. Mercedes, audi and vw do but limited. That's why you don't see as many in this contry as you do over seas.
Looks better than a sonata. hopefully it's quality will be better too.

So, everyone chooses more for diesel in despite of the environment. Our gouvernment is actuallly making people making the wrong choice.
buy American ? or Korean ?
Eyy, did you check the new camaros? the cadillac CTS? Pontiac g6? what are you talking about people?
If I can buy the turbo diesel here in the US, I'm getting one.
@Spectr4L i know bud lol i got a cobalt too, but ill try to test drive the cruze soon ;) lol
As far as getting the government money, i believe this is the only time GM had this kind of problem unlike chrysler.

i think gm is realy moving in a better direction cus they got all these fuel efficient cars going on sale soon which is wat ppl want.
uhh... no. dont get the elantra. this car was tuned on the nurburgring, it will be a proper driver's car. seems like gm's finally doing something right...
Why do I get the feeling appliances are the future of motoring?
Isn't it ironic how you'll have people posting these comments blaming, politicians, corporate greed, etc etc for the situation we're in right now, then put their computers to sleep (if they even bother) and go off shopping at Walmart.
Probably not because chances are it wouldn't meet emission standards and it wouldn't sell very well.
I get why your all upset that the cobalt is gone, if i know right the cruze is bigger then the cobalt so your getting more car for the better mileage. GM is turning around with how they build their cars and run their company. I also agree, i would drive a diesel car if there was an american company who made it.

@technologic21 you don't know what your talking about. GM makes the best looking and driving cars in the world, they'll be around another 100 years.
looks like the sonata.
Its about time GM makes some smaller nice cars
The rid of the 1.6 korean daewoo engine, in the Aveo and replace it with eco-tec, only to bring it bag in another car?
@shedster56 They have to remake the money they were paying out by the truckload to the Unions and keep the pensions funded.
at least its going to be made here in the us lol
the cobalt doesnt have "euro" styling and comes with an optional coupe trim and an SS trim for performance lovers and gets up to 36 mpg hwy on regular models.
so in other words the majority of the american public thinks it is crap and they think it will fall apart after 20k miles so GM needed to change it's image to let all the dumb people in the world think GM is all new when in fact in recent years there was nothing wrong with their cars. those people are tools to media and it screws us.
lol, this is cool...ish, but when we get the ford euro focus nobody will even know that the cruze is, and if you need proof lookup "focus rs"
Diesel engines now a days are equal or even better than gasoline engines, so you americans have to get use to this fact.
The only problem is that you wont need too much petrol so you loose the excuse to start a war.
So no diesel for the USA? **** you GM
@willsco76 GM makes the best looking and driving cars? What have you been smoking? I'd like some too. GM hasn't made a great car since the VEGA! Ha Ha!
If the Cruze is as reliable as Honda in 10 YEARS, then I"ll buy. Until then fuggetaboutit.

FUCK the chevy cruze, BRING BACK THE COBALT
Very nice looking buy PLEASE drop or downsize the "BOWTIE" Its an ugly eyesore.
Do not paint the citizens with a broad brush. It is the sins of Detroit that stains us. VW TDI sell out fast. GM is stupid not us. And V8s are rare these days.
i wonder how upset all the chevy fan boys will be if i say... ford feista or ford focus FTW
The Cruze is a good looking small car..
I think we should think "globally" and put a $15,000 tax on every Toyota Honda Hyundai Kia VW etc ... why not? ... They do it to us!
Try to buy a Chevy Cobalt in Japan... it will cost you $45,000 after tariffs! Try to buy anything made in the US in the EC... it will cost you twice as much... but they come to the big dumb US and sell products without even paying US taxes like our own US mfrs.
EVERY Fucking diesel engine has hoirble sound ! i get nervous breakdown when i hear it idling ...
Not enough to save the sinking ship that is GM.
gm
Why are American cars better in europe than here?! WHY???!!!
I think if this car was made even in Pakistan by a company owned by Osama B. Laden, it probably would be ok with the GM bean counters, ...lol !!!!
south korean vehicle made by Daewoo
Well, another modified and rebadged Daewoo....Lets give it a chance a see if it is better than a shitty Aveo, Optra and Epica. They are trying to make a small Malibu with this car, hopefully it will do better than Malibu. At least it has a better rear end than Malibu.
@ThisSubtleDagger It's bullshit that the Cavalier got such a long run, the cobalt comes along and only gets 5 years roughly, then it tossed aside for this ugly waste of plastic.
@knack0125 GM can't even compete with Hyundai let alone Honda. Pathetic.......
This vehicle is nothing more than a rebadged Daewoo. We all know how bad the Daewoo based Aveo is. This car will be a flop.
It is just more crap from GM
GARBAGE!!!!
It is a Daewoo.
JUNK.
if the fieista is terible than this must be the most boring car for sale right now
This South-Korean TV box is for gays indeed. And it's even not a Chevrolet. It's Hyundai. But, that brand didn't fit and so the renamed Hyundai to Chevrolet. Nowadays, my country (Holland) is full of those bumbling TV boxes. LOL.
wow thats stupid looking!!!
id rather get the new ford focus its sooo much cooler looking and is built by a company that will be arould for much longer.
Mazda! Honda! Mazda! Honda!,,, Bad quality + Bad Service = GM Cars
hatchbacks are ugly!
hope you didn't or you will be in exactly the same position you were in then! hahaha Want reliability? Buy a freaking Hyundai/Kia only brand snobs think these are shit cars, all reports, surveys, owner satisfaction and lack of warranty issues say very different.
