LA Auto Show: Chevrolet Cruze

by Alex L. Dykes

Published: December 2nd, 2009

Chevrolet just pulled the wraps off the US market Cruze, not that there are any secrets left at GM these days where auto shows are concerned. Plus the Cruze has been available around the world for months already. The big news is that the interior is actually – not pulling any punches – world class. Previously only the French were able to make a cloth covered dash worth looking at, but GM has actually managed to make a press fleet-ready car with one. As long as you pick the top trim level, anyway.

Why did they have to include that self-conscious air intake slot above the grille? It's as if somebody at GM is still trying to vindicate the Aztek after all these years.

Yikes! From what I've read this car is coming to Brazil and will substitute the Vectra. Sorry Gm but if there has ever been a car of yours I'd contemplate buying, that'd've been the Vectra (1st and 2nd generations, not what you call the Vectra now in Brazil, who all who know a little, know is an Astra). Or the Insignia of course, that as we car lovers know, is capable of holding a candle to the Mondeo. But this...Add in the fact that this will be sold at around US$35k down here. You can fool others, and as old honest Abe once famously said, well you get the rest.

MaintenanceCosts Poorly packaged, oddly proportioned small CUV with an unrefined hybrid powertrain and a luxury-market price? Who wouldn't want it?
MaintenanceCosts Who knows whether it rides or handles acceptably or whether it chews up a set of tires in 5000 miles, but we definitely know it has a "mature stance."Sounds like JUST the kind of previous owner you'd want…
28-Cars-Later Nissan will be very fortunate to not be in the Japanese equivalent of Chapter 11 reorganization over the next 36 months, "getting rolling" is a luxury (also, I see what you did there).
MaintenanceCosts RAM! RAM! RAM! ...... the child in the crosswalk that you can't see over the hood of this factory-lifted beast.
3-On-The-Tree Yes all the Older Land Cruiser’s and samurai’s have gone up here as well. I’ve taken both vehicle ps on some pretty rough roads exploring old mine shafts etc. I bought mine right before I deployed back in 08 and got it for $4000 and also bought another that is non running for parts, got a complete engine, drive train. The mice love it unfortunately.
