I'd guess it will be close to the Aveo in price, but a little bit more. Much like Cobalt vs Cruze

Man, am I the only one who thinks the car looks good (with exception of the sedans tail lights)? Man how old are you guys, younger buyers perfer sporty styling which I assume will be 80% of the people who buys it.

A bunch of people in here has said they liked it!

The exterior is actually pretty eye catching and unique. The interior is good except I don't care for the "shade" thingy over the speedometer. It looks too much like the shades on the lights in stoplights. I think maybe the small size of the thing ruins it. If it was bigger and flatter it might work for me.

*Mr. Wyndham* · 01-11-2011, 09:44 PM

I just noticed there's an "Eco" button behind the shifter.....hmmmm

mdinferno · 01-11-2011, 09:52 PM

I like the sedan... and have to agree the interior looks alot better than the camaro.

shevyman · 01-11-2011, 10:02 PM

not sure but it does not sound that bad of a car. well maybe one day i will test drive it and think about purchasing it. slap a bigger turbo and get 230hp and that thing will move. but not sure how safe. lol

One Mean Chevy · 01-11-2011, 10:29 PM

Not bad. I like the styling of the fenders. Basically its a much much better looking Aveo. I wish GM would STOP changing names.
The Instrument cluster reminds me of something, hmmm??????

A motorcylcle?

It looks like a full size car like a BMW or something like one that is parked in front of one of those silly mirrors at an amusement park. I'm sure someone will buy it even though. I guess it's about as nice as anything else in this segment.

Since I don't like to drive the Camaro in the rain or as a daily driver, something like this would be awesome to run to Wally world! I'm not a great fan of the chopped off rear end view, but that's what's popular these days. It needs to be able to beat Mazda 3s and some of the other little cars as in the Chevy days of old!

If you watch the FIA World Touring car championship races, the Chevrolet Cruze from Europe kicks major butt against BMWs, Renaults, Hondas, etc...very enjoyable small car racing.

That hatch looks like the bastard child of a Dodge Charger front and Kia Soul rear.

Just ugly.

That car needs to be in the 2500 lbs range, and get well over 35 mpg highway to even have a chance of making it.

Well, it makes 36 mpg in the cruze so that is already covered.
