2009 LA Auto Show Highlights: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6KnlDy32E8
It was no surprise to learn that the Cruze headed to the U.S. late next year will look and feel much like its European counterparts. The base engine is a 1.8-liter inline-4 making 136 horsepower and 123 pound-feet of torque. A slight upgrade will be available in the form of a turbocharged 1.4-liter four that develops 138 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque. Both engines will be offered with either a six-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission. Chevrolet says the turbocharged model could get as much as 40 mpg on the highway.

[syner79]

I love this car, especially the front. Other fronts from other cars are boring !!!

@MacaroniKetchup Err this REPLACES the Cobalt, there will be NO MORE Cobalts made.

[mejw1]

wonder if they will make the cruze in 2 door

[lerch25]

@Batmanshack Have you seen the Chevy Volts' competion? its a supermodel compared to the Nissan Leaf or the Toyota Prius.

[sfdenny]

I drive a 2009 Cobalt SS sedan, and I love the Cruze. This car will be hugh.

Cobalt not known for it's style? Compared with this fucking thing? It's a glorified Aveo. Take the '10 Cobalt SS and put it next to one of these, and it's going to turn more heads any day of the week. Not to mention ditching the turbocharged 2.0 the most recent Cobalt used to produce 260 HP and replace it with a 1.4? It's a 1.4, why even bother turbocharging it? If they want to replace the Cobalt with a more efficient car then just ditch the TC altogether. Get it together GM, PLEASE.

so is Holden or Chevy taking over future generation improvements or is Daewoo still doing everything? if i had the money i would get the 2010 Holden Cruze CDX in automatic petrol :)

[Batmanshack]

Ugly car.... The new GM government at least trying to make fuel sipping cars. BTW the Volt is the ugliest hybrid or even car out there, I really don't see anyone buying that.

[rodsterau]

That's the current model Daewoo Lacetti
