Pick On Someone From Your Own Model Year!
Chevy dusts off its “may the best car win” theme with a series of videos “daring” consumers to compare the Cruze… with its outgoing competition. The absurdity of the alleged
“comparison” is probably best highlighted in this video, in which the 2011 Cruze takes on a 2010 Elantra… even though an all-new 2011 Elantra is already at dealerships. With a much-improved 2012 Focus coming soon as well, a similarly rigged bashing of the outgoing Focus is made only slightly less unfair by the fact that the Focus isn’t available yet. Ditto the Honda Civic smackaround. And the Corolla. It’s almost as if Chevy knows that the Cruze is about to face some of the toughest competition in the industry… with a design that has been produced since 2008. Too bad the bowtie brand doesn’t seem willing to face the challenge.

This looks like it was shot back in the fall, possibly before the Elantra was out. Makes no sense why it was released today, but I am guessing that is why the 2010 model was used as a comparison.
Tjhe ghost of Susan Docherty lives on....
I guess this video is fo GM fanboys only. Instead of video, I get: 'This is a private video. If you have been sent this video, please make sure you accept the sender's friend request.'
Well GM Opel did make the Opel Manta Rally. One fine compact car of the early 70's. And a Nova or NovaII had some good years. Yep, the most current decade are lacking.
