  • gm

  • I love the fact that its built right here in Ohio. It really helps in my decision for a car knowing that I'm helping keep jobs right here in my back yard.

  • NOW WOCH

  • Guys GM may not be the Leader in car sales but trust me she is 1 of the best challengers!! I bought the cruze few weeks ago and i never thought it would be this much powerful, safe and efficent... It is one of the best... Must at least Test Drive it :D

  • Diesel engines now a days are equal or even better than gasoline engines, so you americans have to get use to this fact.

    The only problem is that you wont need too much petrol so you loose the excuse to start a war.

  • @mqmqmwmw where are you from?

  • @mqmqmwmw "The only problem is that you wont need too much petrol so you loose the excuse to start a war."

    Yeah we just love getting our legs blown off to solve the rest of the world's problems. Oh by the way.... YOU'RE WELCOME.

  • Interior & exterior +1...

  • Eyy, did you check the new camaros? the cadillac CTS? Pontiac g6? what are you talking about people?

  • COLORADO IN OVER 0 OF 15 LOSS FUEL TECHNOLOGIES MEAN REBEL ALL.

    HA HA HA AH

  • CRUZE AND CAPTIVA ARE REBEL ALL.

  • GM to jest to:)

  • What in the hell is this POS and where is the 2011 Cobalt?

  • @Spectr4L i know bud lol i got a cobalt too, but ill try to test drive the cruze soon ;) lol

  • @Spectr4L being a cobalt owner, Im glad they came out with this. Might upgrade after I get the cobalt paid off, cobalts have TOO MANY issues

  • with the 40 to 50% wage reductions GM employees had to take.....Why is this car still priced in the 20 thousand dollar range? Now with what it cost to build this car is should sell for around 12 thousand. GM GREED!!!

  • @shedster56 They have to remake the money they were paying out by the truckload to the Unions and keep the pensions funded.

  • YUK...GM still doesn't get it!!!! I'll buy another Honda.

  • considering gm auto workers had to take a 35 to 40% reduction in pay and benefits...Why is this car still priced in the 20 thousand dollar range? With all the reductions in cost to build this car it should sell for around 12000.00 range. GREED!!!

  • EVERY Fucking diesel engine has hoirble sound ! i get nervous breakdown when i hear it idling ...

  • can enyone explain to me what is the best way to drive CHCruze benz(i mean the number of spins) becouse i have Cruze and it spends 14L/100km in city and 10 on open road....

  • The Cruze will be built in Lordstown OH. The ones currently being built at different plants around the world, including not just Korea, but Australia--where a hatchback is produced--are not for sale in the US.

  • @schiavone402

    Yep. They have plants for each respective market. Its a global car meant to replace a horde of cars that used to be specific for each region.

  • As far as getting the government money, i believe this is the only time GM had this kind of problem unlike chrysler. Also with being american, they design them overseas since thats where the compition is if you don't realise it so who better to do the underpinning then the top countrys where the best cars are made. Atleast they are doing the right thing, they design the cars overseas but bring them back here to build like in the plant in ohio, so you can't hate GM for that.

  • I get why your all upset that the cobalt is gone, if i know right the cruze is bigger then the cobalt so your getting more car for the better mileage. GM is turning around with how they build their cars and run their company. I also agree, i would drive a diesel car if there was an american company who made it. May be more expensive, but you have no spark plugs & it burns cleaner. I like and don't like the cruze has good and bad points but over all shows GM can turn a good product out. GO GM!!!

  • @knack0125 GM can't even compete with Hyundai let alone Honda. Pathetic.......

  • @knack0125 diesel fuel does not burn cleaner that gasoline

  • so wtf no 2 door booo!!!!!!!

  • FUCK the chevy cruze, BRING BACK THE COBALT <3

  • @ThisSubtleDagger It's bullshit that the Cavalier got such a long run, the cobalt comes along and only gets 5 years roughly, then it tossed aside for this ugly waste of plastic.

  • I've seen this car in real. This video doesn't do it justice. So, don't scoff until you've seen and riden in one. Chevy is blowing away the competition.

  • 1.4L 4 ? u won't be able to run a AC unit on that engine without hitting 5000 rpm doing 35 mph..way too small

  • i wonder how upset all the chevy fan boys will be if i say... ford feista or ford focus FTW

  • Comment removed

  • if the fieista is terible than this must be the most boring car for sale right now

  • Comment removed

  • G.M. stands for government motors. This is a communist corporation. I would never buy their cars.

  • and ford stands for Found On Road Dead, lol. If you want a car that will take abuse and get you where you need, buy a GM. Also...that that alarmist, conservative BS to yourself. You sound like every other goon on the net talking about government motors this and that....if they suck so much for trying to stay in business, then go help the japanese out, they, like us, arnt doing any better. lol. That, or you can also go pay out the add for some BMW and get raped everytime you need it fixed

  • If you buy a GM you just encourage this type of behavior by the government. Keeping union jobs making vehicles nobody wants. The longer this goes on, the more money the taxpayers in Canada and the USA will lose. A nd I drive a very reliable Acura made in the USA by non-union workers. Thank you.

  • Comment removed

  • @myronlittman Too bad that all the profit from your Acura goes over seas. The actual building of a car is less than 1/2 the cost. And no profit is relalized in the US. You have contributed to the failure of this once great country. Congratulations.

  • @scottwilkins . Theyare a multinational corporation who has stockholders all over the world. They pay taxes in America. The Acura was designed in California and built in OHIO. The Cruze on the other hand was designed overseas and built in Korea. My Acura is way more American then your Cruze. Sheeshz.

  • @scottwilkins . Acura is a multinational corporation with stockholders all over the world who get the profits, including Americans. They pay taxes in America. My Acura was designed in California and built in OHIO. The Cruze on the other hand was designed overseas and built in Korea. My Acura is way more American then your Cruze. Sheeshz.

  • ur stupid. everybidy knows ford stands for First On Race Day.

  • you mean Fucked On Race Day? lol

  • lol ya everydoby els is fucked cuz ford is #1

    thx man that is a good one ill remember that one :)

  • This is going to be another hot seller for GM. The latest products have been unbelievable and everyone I talk to says they will consider the new products. I admit the older cars were junk but things change and perceptions do too. I have a Honda thats rusting, engine is always rough and oil leaks. Can't get rid of it for free. Read the latest Consumer Reports perception survey. Chevy is in the top 3 as most improved.

  • all yall ford lovers quit putin Chevy down 2 make ur peas off junk fords look better it ant gonna work cause Chevy always going 2 be better than ford so quit trying and all them junky buzz boxes Honda and Toyota

  • They need to put 16" or 17" 10 or 12 spoke alloys on it as a standard feature to get younger buyers.

    One more thing Chevy should do is change their gold logo color to silver. It will just look so much cooler!

  • they make them with silver

  • they need a SS model with rear wheel drive or a body kit with a v6 or a small block v8

  • They should have an option of the 2.0 ecotec turbo thats now in the cobalt SS.

  • este si es CARRO WuAW

  • if it does ever make it to production they should just do the diesel engie no matter ehat

  • It's in production already, just not in US. They are already on the streets in Europe, Asia and Australia. Coming soon to the US. Seriously this car is pretty damn amazing. I've seen it.

  • Well, another modified and rebadged Daewoo....Lets give it a chance a see if it is better than a shitty Aveo, Optra and Epica. They are trying to make a small Malibu with this car, hopefully it will do better than Malibu. At least it has a better rear end than Malibu.

  • The rid of the 1.6 korean daewoo engine, in the Aveo and replace it with eco-tec, only to bring it bag in another car?

  • Hahahah!!! What an UGLY JUNK!!!!!!!

  • hatchbacks are ugly!

  • The new VW GOLF is nice lookin' though.... as a matter of fact, the only decent hatchback.

  • Yeah, the old 05 shapes where a blow off. When I first saw it, I felt sick... But the new one I guess looks better. But not what a Golf should have turned into. MK4 edition was better.

  • GranFury440, you can't even imagine what is going on, if you keep over $25USD/Hr your stupid products will increase in price ==== Equals=== your stupid manufacturers look for foreign countries with $20USD/Day (or a week in some cases) wages, is that pretty hard to figure ??, Also unions are a big Rats making millions from hard working people. The latest Cash4Clunkers report says Top10 traded in where Americans, Top10 Purchased where Toyota, Honda, Nissan & Hyundai : HOW STUPID IS THAT ?????????

  • So no diesel for the USA? **** you GM

  • No, because you people have made your own fame by yourself. People in US have never wanted to use Diesel, you have always been a Gasoline lovers, with huge V6 and V8 engines for SUVs and all cars, but never looking for Diesel reliability and economy. People in US is under the impression that Diesel is just for Trucks and contruction or farming machinery. If you are one of the few US citizen that realized Diesel has more benefits than gasoline, CONGRATULATIONS!!

  • Do not paint the citizens with a broad brush. It is the sins of Detroit that stains us. VW TDI sell out fast. GM is stupid not us. And V8s are rare these days.

  • That is why I congratulated you, cuz you know what Im talking about. Many SUV models we have here in my country and also in Europe have Diesel engines and they are most sold than the gasoline version, but the same models in US are only sold Gasoline V6 or I-4 but with a huge displacement, for example Hyundai Santa Fe: you could get the gas version here, same as US, but people here preffer the 2.2 Ltr Turbo Diesel engine, 4wd. I hope we can see more Diesel engines around the US roads.

  • no hatchback? Pass

  • What get's me is that we are 3 months still in 2009 and this car is a 2011 year model. How long will they continue to lie so grossly about this crap! So sick of this 9.99 or the gasoline prices $1.5.09 or all these marketing schemes only to lie to people!!!

  • maybe the car wouldnt be so expensive if union workers didnt make $30/hr to sit around and let a machine do all the work. and how much do you think it will cost to fix these cars? wait until the consumer realizes that they have no one but a dealer to fix it. "monopoly"!!!!! so now you have an overpriced hunk of shit, and people maxing out their credit cards just to maintain it. and what will people do when electric cars rule the world and electricity prices go up???

  • Then god help us all!

  • @ The87killer. Let the "machine do all the work?" Fuck you! My family has worked for GM for many generations and I'll tell you something.. us "shoprats" work harder in in one day then most people do in a month. Hell My Dad was the only one at his plant who could run thousands of parts AND box them up with a machine that nobody else knew how to run while lifting heavy stacks of the parts all at the same time all day with cancer causing chemicals. I hope you die in a car wreck you ignorant shit

  • GrandFury440, Thats so stupid way of thinking you are like all the US people blaming on the world for your US problem.

    Thats caused because you guys get paid to mutch for doing nothing, as mutch as you get paid ==Equals to== as mutch as your products will increase in price, thats a snow ball efect ocurring right know.

    Wy you dont try to convince your US conationals to Trade in their Japanese cars for a Chevy, Ford or a Chrysler.

    Start with that... Good Luck..

  • good point anavarro about convincing americans to buy american

    But, Granfury does have a point too that GM is a transnational corporation that rapes and pillages other companies to become slave or sefs to the overlord GM Shareholders. THat is the game that is being played.

    It's the same thing with every corporation based in Europe and America.

    GM is doing fine in China because of secret furtive meeting with corrupt Chinese beaurocrats and powerful shareholders in GM. Both parties will profit.

  • @ anavarro28. Oh the americans get "paid too much?" Oh you think so huh? So 25 dollars an hour is too much? That is around the going rate at the manufacturing plants for a average line worker! That amount is barely a LIVABLE WAGE! What are we supposed to earn less like 10 dollars an hour and under, living in carboard boxes in alleyways at night?!! Read what keithg1 said to you here. I bought american!! I DO have loyalty to the traitors most americans still do! I bought a GM product!

  • A turbod 4-banger with a 6-speed manual tranny huh? If it can get 40mpg like they claim then it sounds like a decent commuter car.

  • The Cruze is a good looking small car..

    I think we should think "globally" and put a $15,000 tax on every Toyota Honda Hyundai Kia VW etc ... why not? ... They do it to us!

    Try to buy a Chevy Cobalt in Japan... it will cost you $45,000 after tariffs! Try to buy anything made in the US in the EC... it will cost you twice as much... but they come to the big dumb US and sell products without even paying US taxes like our own US mfrs.

  • Not enough to save the sinking ship that is GM.

  • It's pretty hard to sink when the government is relieving you of every duty you have as a corporation.

  • GM is NOT a sinking ship. GM MADE it look like they were hurting here in the U.S but actually all they did was move their wealth overseas to china. GM is actually doing just fine. The North american operations are suffering because they LET it get that way on purpose. All the GM manufacturing plants are torn down in my town but in China they have state of the art. If there was ever a WW3 we would have to blow up China's GM plants to stop them from building war equipment to kill us with.

  • Wow...who fed you that bullshit? What you're saying screams paranoia.

  • I'm saying what COULD happen not WHEN. Anyhow your message screams acceptance towards illogical big business greed.

  • GranFury440.......are you 5? they LET that happen on purpose? don't make me laugh. what you're saying is that GM let that happen so that they could get off the hook and Obama would keep wiring money.......:l

  • Am I 5. Huh... wow great line there! Not. I don't think Obama should have given the pricks money like that. Like I fucking said GM left the U.S for cheap chinese communist labor to get rid of the UAW and everyone of us who demand LIVABLE WAGES and safety. You know the UAW is the reason we HAVE OSHA here! But now we are missing our jobs and yet GM still expects us to somehow afford their cars. By doing what being doctors,lawyers? Our REAL livable wages are GONE.

  • wasnt that what the so-called bailout money was for? i dont get why GM ceo's still have their damn jobs in the first place? when was it ok to screw up at a job and not get fired or get a bonus? Do Mcdanalds workers get a bailout when they fuck up?

  • Shut up, you have no idea what you're talking about.

  • @technologic21 you don't know what your talking about. GM makes the best looking and driving cars in the world, they'll be around another 100 years.

  • @willsco76 r u serious? is that why gm had to have the government bail them out so that they would go belly up? gm will only be around for another 100 years because alot of jobs in detroit rely on the gm plants. ford makes much better cars than gm. and so does every single foreign car company

  • @willsco76 lol, extremely debatable

  • @willsco76 GM makes the best looking and driving cars? What have you been smoking? I'd like some too. GM hasn't made a great car since the VEGA! Ha Ha!

    If the Cruze is as reliable as Honda in 10 YEARS, then I"ll buy. Until then fuggetaboutit.

  • @willsco76 3 years ago, I found it quite difficult to find an interesting US car, vette not included since too expensive, but now, I wouldn't consider anything but US car for two reasons: 1) keep as much dollars in the country as possible 2) I REALLY LIKE many of the new models so much that I am glad i'm not in the market because I just couldn't make up my mind: volt, challenger, camaro, taurus, leSabre, regal, cadillac, vette, and here's hoping for the Focus RS etc etc etc.

  • @willsco76 Best is an opinion word unless you have statistics to prove it. Like awards won based on quality.. which GM of the past 5 years has nearly none.. let's speak relevantly this is a great showing for GM though as far as quality products go

  • This South-Korean TV box is for gays indeed. And it's even not a Chevrolet. It's Hyundai. But, that brand didn't fit and so the renamed Hyundai to Chevrolet. Nowadays, my country (Holland) is full of those bumbling TV boxes. LOL.

  • Its about time GM makes some smaller nice cars

  • Why do I get the feeling appliances are the future of motoring?

  • Why do so many rednecks drive Chevy Cavaliers?

    You ever notice that?

  • My guess is that it combines blind patriotism and economical restriction, AKA Yokel Poor Bastard.

    With that said, Cavaliers are just that - cheap transport. They got the job done, as long as they didn't break down in the drive way.

    (I hope GM can pull it's socks up and finally hold up to the foreign offerings)

  • Isn't it ironic how you'll have people posting these comments blaming, politicians, corporate greed, etc etc for the situation we're in right now, then put their computers to sleep (if they even bother) and go off shopping at Walmart.

  • at least its going to be made here in the us lol

  • I'd rather buy a 1975 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham d'Elegance with a 500 Cubic Inch V8 getting 10mpg and be riding in much better saftey and comfort than this TV Box thank you!

  • south korean vehicle made by Daewoo

  • Comment removed

  • @jongkeunlee Wrong! Australian design, made in Ohio.

  • diesel engines now adays run much cleaner than gas engines, its mor eco-friendly. i dunno why we dont have it in america

  • Diesel engines are not necessarily cleaner. Diesel emissions are dirtier but their is less of it so it evens out. Diesels aren't as common in the US for several reasons. First of all, thanks to the government, diesel fuel is more expensive in many places. Also, US environmental laws are based more on emissions while European laws are based more on fuel economy. This means the US laws are more favored to gas while Europe is favored to diesel.

  • That's right. For example my country, Holland. Normal fuel here costs you the lovely price of 1,43 Euro per liter. Diesel costs you more tax but is more economical. So, everyone chooses more for diesel in despite of the environment. Our gouvernment is actuallly making people making the wrong choice.

  • I'm with you aust1129ps. Clean turbo diesels get great gas mileage. I think the 1.4 turbo (gas) will do well also. Chevy is making some great cars!!!

  • @aust1129ps...There are very strict emmissions standards that many car companies can't meet. Mercedes, audi and vw do but limited. That's why you don't see as many in this contry as you do over seas.

  • @aust1129ps The newest addition to the Chevy line will be a true hit in the US as it was in the European countries. The car is stylish, affordable and gets great gas mileage.

  • Will they offer the Diesel engine in the US?

  • Probably not because chances are it wouldn't meet emission standards and it wouldn't sell very well.

  • with 236ft lbs of torque the turbodiesel will make short work of any of the gas engines in terms of acceleration, especially in a car this light. I wish they'd comply with EPA2010 regs and bring this diesel to the usa.

  • what really IS american anymore? The politicians gave away our manufactureing base thanks to NAFTA and free trade with China. Well, when no one has decent jobs in the USA, who will buy their products? Between Canada, Mexico, China, and the Koreans, were all screwed.

  • Welcome to Globalization, NAFTA and corporate greed. Benefits the large corporations and provides jobs for ppl in third World countries.

  • I think if this car was made even in Pakistan by a company owned by Osama B. Laden, it probably would be ok with the GM bean counters, ...lol !!!!

  • fu ck u gm makes good old American cars and trucks

  • poochy86307: According to Consumer Reports magazine, GM makes unreliable cars with low resale value. I owned a Chevy Cavalier, so I can testify that GM makes junk that's expensive to repair. I was stranded on the sides of the road many times, and I almost lost my job because I was late for work. If you own a GM car, then you MUST always carry a cell phone to call a tow truck.

  • @TranCendenZ

    CAUSE THE CAVALIER WAS SHIT DUMB ASS.

    Maybe take care of your car, and it will return the difference.

    (A.K.A. CLEAN IT YOU LAZY FUCK)

    My 2003 hasn't let me down yet, so stop your whining.

  • tjmick1992: No matter how much you take care of a piece of shit Chevy, it's still going to break down. You can't polish a turd.

  • Comment removed

  • animetodamaximum: No, I don't own a Prius. I currently don't have a car because my Chevy was such a piece of crap that it's now sitting in the junkyard.

  • the cavaliers are actually pretty quick man. ive worked on those. they are supercharged you know

  • poochy86307: GM just announced today that they're recalling 1.3 million cars. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts, Pontiac G5s, Pontiac Pursuits (sold in Canada), and Pontiac G4s (sold in Mexico). If you have one of those cars, your steering may fail.

  • WOW FAG.

  • Yes this is a Daewoo product. Most of the engineering came from South Korean engineers. GM which is a global company decided to gets its hand on Daewoo to utilise South Korea's technology expertise. It was probably collusion with Gm and the BIG boys that Kim Woo Choong intentionally destroyed Daewoo's well being as an independent car manufactorer. This guy, CEO, was extremely a prudent and hard working man. No way,could Kim make that many stupid decisions to collapse Daewoo.

  • @LoneGunman2000 No, this is not a Daewoo product. The Aveo is. The Cruze is an Australian product.

  • Dude, the Cruze comes for GMDAT division in South Korea.

  • Why are American cars better in europe than here?! WHY???!!!

  • yes this is a Daewoo Lacetti. Developed by Daewoo korea. It is not a Chevy, that is just the name. It is not American engineered at all.

  • if they bring the turbodiesel to the US it will get 60mpg in this small car with a 6spd auto. This will be helpful when fuel goes back upto $5/gallon. Also, it will have torque, something that gas 4cylinders lack severely.

  • a small 1.4 cyl engine will not produce alot of torque automatically. Most small 4cyl engines do produce alot of torque but not in the low end spectrum. You can chose one but you cant really master both. Take your pick. High end or low end torque. I would choose high end all the time.

  • torque is what moves a vehicle. drive a TDI volkswagen or a diesel pickup truck and tell me if you would still prefer a gas version. The only thing that will make this 1.4L engine worth anything is the turbo. without it this thing is a total dog.

  • its basically a prius is what your trying to say. Tiny motor that isnt to good on power.

  • diesels kick ass. But the problem with diesel is that it is more expensive. Most small cars with inline 4's aren't desighned to well on the low end torque spectrum like i said previously. Alot of people are saying that this car technically isn't a chevy. Dont know if i cant believe that or not. It was probably co developed by both.

  • a prius is a totally different animal, its electric motor has tons of torque from a dead stop. the concern with the prius is long term battery replacement costs and disposal issues. The Cruze surely comes from Gm's Euro division, but anyway, what really is genuine anymore in this "global" economy? I like the Cruze its styleing is well done, and if it gets 40mpg in a gas version it will do very well in America for sales.

  • One question... where did all the Horse Power go... who cares about mpg. you dont buy a ss looking for mpg. 2.0 with under 200hp.. psh... and that steering wheel is kind of ugly, imo

  • Personally in my own opinion, I think the Cobalt looks cooler. This looks more like a cross between the New Tarus and the Malibu.

  • Very nice looking buy PLEASE drop or downsize the "BOWTIE" Its an ugly eyesore.

  • sounds like chevy is actually doing something good and taking some styling, as well as some engineering cues from ford!

  • Comment removed

  • Why change the name-look at the civic, corolla, and fusion-they have been redesigned a few times like headlights tail lights-better interiors than previous models-GM never changed the headlights taillights-only thing they have done was make the SS better with the TC 2.0 liter which puts out 260 bhp WTF-So why not redesign the Cobalt-I remember they changed from the Cavalier and they said that it takes a lot of money to make a all new car model-This car should be the Cobalt-How many civics in 5 y

  • I have a Cobalt-First Gen actually-lets see thats a 2005-here it is 2009-Remember the Civic-oh you do?That is because it is still on the street-The Civic name has been around for over 20 years-look at all the redesigns it went through and the marketing and sales are through the roofs-ok back to the Cobalt-Gm Resigned it how? Added a few little interior features-put some different hub caps/Rims-oh dont forget the GM little badge-WHat I am saying is Keep the name Cobalt and redo the body a little-

  • The cobalt, cavalier, etc. have constantly been better than a Civic, though. Not defending them making a new car, I don't know their reasoning behind it, but I'd rather drive a cruze than a Civic.

  • There is nothing wrong with the Cobalt at all-I just see why they dont make the Cruze a remodeled Cobalt-They never added anything cool to the Cobalts interior-or exterior-Never changed it up-Lose the Cruze name and keep the Cobalt name-Here is the kicker its going to have less power-even Turbo charged

  • Yeah, I have no clue why they changed the name. Doesn't quite make sense to me... I have a feeling every car is going to be losing power now for Car Czar's/CAFE's regulations, which sucks.

  • the cobalt doesnt have "euro" styling and comes with an optional coupe trim and an SS trim for performance lovers and gets up to 36 mpg hwy on regular models.

    so in other words the majority of the american public thinks it is crap and they think it will fall apart after 20k miles so GM needed to change it's image to let all the dumb people in the world think GM is all new when in fact in recent years there was nothing wrong with their cars. those people are tools to media and it screws us.

  • cavalier and cobalt were just a down right plain piece of shit in comparison to the civic. I don't know how you label it as better. Feature wise but they didn't make it in a lot of category's. This car shouild improve alot of things. But a turbo charged 1.4? That thing will fall apart in less that 20k miles. Thats like asking for trouble.

  • Simplicity doesn't always equal inferiority. The civic hasn't been terrible, but it has never been anything special... I won't argue this with you, I guess it's all subjective. The engine will be bullet-proof if it's anything like the most recent GM engines out there... The mpg war is taking its toll on the good engines out there, though.

  • Comment removed

  • crap i misread that last statement. Thought you said it was ahahaha!

  • It would be ridiculous to say the civic has been terrible throughout its history, sorry if I came across as saying that. It was better looking than cavaliers, that's for sure, and possibly better, I was going overboard. I think the cobalts compete well as a more simplistic model of the civic... Sorry, my other comments seemed pretty close-minded.

  • it is rare to find people on youtube with pure honesty and understanding. To that you get all thumbs up.

  • Thanks man, you aren't close minded like the rest of people, either. I've been trying to take my blinders of lately and be as objective as possible in looking into cars. It's hard, because it's mostly subjective matters, and I have ties to a few brands, but it's good to appreciate all cars, I guess.

  • lol, this is cool...ish, but when we get the ford euro focus nobody will even know that the cruze is, and if you need proof lookup "focus rs"

  • Focus RS will never come across the Ocean and it's overrated anyways.....Found On Road Dead/Fucked On Race Day/Fix Or Repair Daily.

Lets add another thumbs down for your comment!

  • if ford is sooo bad than y are they selling better than most other makers and wayy better than chevy. o and y is the "sub-par" f-150 the best selling vehicle in north-america... just wondering

  • What were their sales worldwide? Last I checked GM was only recently overtaken by Toyota in Global volume sales, so go back to school, learn to read instead of listening to commercials and go research world sales. Ford is non-existent because their cars are and always will be shit and everyone outside of North America knows it. Go back to school and come back and argue when you have information beyond a grade five knowledge base!

  • Looks better than a sonata. hopefully it's quality will be better too.

  • available 2010 huh... assuming the company doesn't screw itself even more by then.

  • if your talking about getting rid of pontiac stop. they did that because, if you hadn't noticed, the economy sucks. pontiac was the same thing as chevy, the g5 was the cobalt so on so forth, and is gettin rid of its weakest links. the only car that was different was the GTO and G8 but they're gone. just let it go. buick or hummer is next then which ever don't go first is gone second then saturn. GM doesn't need all these companies that make the same car with different bodies
