Chevrolet Cruze

A new name and a new design for an all-new car

Detroit - Chevrolet announced today that its all-new entry in the compact segment will be called Cruze. The new Chevrolet will make its global debut at the Paris Motor Show in early October.

Cruze was developed by a global design and engineering team and will be built in multiple locations around the world. The Cruze approaches an overall length of 4.6 meters and offers ample interior space and cargo capacity for five passengers, giving it an advantage over competition in the compact segment.

The Cruze features Chevrolet's new global design language that will continue to be a signature element for future vehicles carrying the gold bowtie. Combined with high safety standards and excellent build quality, Chevrolet will again deliver on its promise of offering a very attractive package at an exceptional value.

The new Chevrolet Cruze will be available in European markets in Spring 2009, followed by other global regions

Hmmm......

I think I'll go ahead and pass on that. Frankly, from an exterior styling standpoint, I'd almost rather drive a Pacer

Let's hope we get a re-badged version of the Suzuki Swift Sport 3-door!



I love Kei cars! Cheap and entertaining!

You know, I look at that car again, and it looks like the front end resembles that of the New Edge Mustangs...

This will be an excellant replacement. The Cobalt sedan had that rediculous hump in the back. It looks like a Kia Rio! The name "Cruze" is just as bad as Honda Fit- not very clever.

I'm not crazy about the name either.
I think they should've just stuck with Cobalt.
Oh well.

This should be a nice little car.
Not to mention the 9 MPG improvement over the Cobalt too!

It looks like pretty much every other small car out there. At least it doesn't look like a new Cavalier like the Cobalt did.

Still, I'd like to see Chevrolet's entry into this class called Nova or something more stirring with styling to match.
