Nice little car if you want to blend into the "rental car" crowd.
Then you must think all small cars are "rental" which makes you seem like you have some sort of superiority complex. The Cruze is as good as this class has to offer.

This is a nice small car and helps prop up Chevrolet to build other cars, like Camaros and Corvettes. I like the Cruze RS and I'd drive one.

I like the current Cruze, especially the RS a lot. This one looks decent to me, but I agree, that front end looks a bit "pasted" on now, and not natural. The upper grille opening should be larger, and the lower smaller.

I appreciate Chevy putting the effort into it, but I agree. It seems pointless unless the next gen Cruze is really running behind is won't see the light of day until 2017.

The number of Camaros I see on the highways here with Enterprise window stickers would surprise you.

Not as bad as I expected but not good either. The front really wasn't the problem, it was the rear and it was left unchanged. Plus with a new MY coming I'm not sure why.

It's things like this that are absolutely mind boggling to me. This should've been done last year or even for 2012.

Then you're obviously not like me or you would understand what I was saying. I don't have a superiority complex or think all small cars are rentals, it's just my opinion on it's level of "I have to go buy one of these".

As for the enterprise sitckers on Camaros...at least you notice those. On a Cruze, you probably wouldn't notice and if you did, you'd lose count. That was my point.

I understand the bread n' butter/point A to B type of car concept and that's what this is. Nothing more. I've never been a bread n' butter car type. Still, it does look better than a '15 Mustang. I already said the Cruze fans will be happy. But I'm not a Cruze fan. Maybe next redesign. Sorry.

But other than that I prefer the look of the earlier models compared to this one.

I thought the current Cruze was one of the better looking cars in it's class, now they have gone and messed up the front end.

Someone at GM Design is OBSESSED with this tiny top grill and really large bottom split grill thing and I HATE it. They took the front end of a perfectly good looking car and destroyed it's good looks.

I hated that stupid grill look back in the day when it was first introduced on the Colorado's and I hate it even more these days. It's ugliest dang design element that GM chooses to implement on it's car designs IMO.

It looks like it's upside down.

Less HP, and more expensive than a focus or mazda 3. They can keep them.

The base Cruze with the 1.8l and a stick is a fun car to drive on tight, winding roads.

The exterior update looks good but I hope the interior didn't get neglected. There is some funky stuff going on in there.
