    Next-Generation Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback Is Shown To Dealers

      The Cruze Looks To Be Getting A Hatchback For the Next-Generation

    A couple years back, then General Motors' North American president, Mark Reuss said “That was a pre-bankruptcy planning mistake,” when asked why Chevrolet didn't sell the Cruze Hatchback in North America. That appears to changing with the next-generation Cruze.

     

    Automotive News reports that Chevrolet showed off a Cruze Hatchback at its national dealer meeting in Las Vegas last week. According to sources, the model was billed as a 2016 model, but a launch date wasn't announced.

     

    Chevrolet will be revealing the 2016 Cruze at a media event this week with sales starting sometime in the first quarter of next year. Automotive News guesses sales of the hatchback could start sometime there after.

    ...or a bit peeved ... LOL!

     

    My parents wanted a hatchback, but since the Cruze didn't come that way, they opted for the sedan.  Wonder if they'll get yet another "2nd car" in the next year or so.....

    At this point, Chevy fans will probably accept anything.

    Not liking that at all.  Very Korean looking.

     

    The reason you're getting down-voted is because you're basing your judgement of the car on the current Cruze hatchback and not the one that will be revealed shortly.

    On a more serious note, it's good to see GM admitting that they made product planning mistakes and try to rectify them. If the Cruze sheds weight like the Camaro did and have even reasonably good styling it should be a hit.

    LMFAO. Leave it to Nutz. He never ceases to amaze me in his attempts to belittle a GM vehicle. 

     

    Looks to me like Chevy has gotten serious. They are firing on all cylinders and funny enough... the new Cruze, Volt and Malibu may just be the first cars to come out of Chevy that weren't paid for in a Pre-BK deficit. The current Cruze, Malibu, Camaro, Impala, SS, Caprice, Volt, Spark, Sonic, and even Stingray were all in the works when GM filed Chapt 11 six years ago.

     

    This car, if it improves on the current vehicle's success by just 20%, will possibly make for the first time forever that a domestic owned a car segment in sales, let alone compact car sales

    A long-overdue good idea.  Now we need a coupe.  Cavalier and Cobalt coupes still pepper the roadways.

     

     

     

    Its a fact that I see more of the Cobalt coupes than I see sedans. That's now.. and when it was on sale. I always kicked me in the ass why GM only did one variant of the Cruze. Ironically it still sold in numbers that I'm sure put Honda and Toyota on notice.. a coupla time toppling them from the top spot

    They're all over here too.

    Balto/Washington too. The Cavalier was not a bad car.... it was just cheaply made, but as cheap as it was.. the actually "turned the wrench a bit tight on those nuts and bolts." I haven't seen a Escort in years tho. As if they quietly shipped them all off to South America or something

    They've a long way go to, tho.

    AMEN to the coupe.  Never understood why the Cruze hasn't received a coupe variant, when, as others have noted, the Cavalier & Cobalt coupes are all over the place.  Still see quite a few around these parts, too.

    I'm not sure I follow you on the product planning mistakes-the entire lineup is pretty solid these days, minus a small SUV for Cadillac and a bit of size differentiation between the Verano and Regal. If you're referring to the ignition switch mess, then it becomes a LOT more complicated an issue, at least for me.

    I worked with a guy last year who had just bought a 03 Cavalier coupe.. He needed something quick(not vehicluarly quick lol), cheap, and reliable. I actually helped ocnvince him of that over a Cobalt with a ton more miles. He was/is young and doesn't have much money and helps out his family a lot and the Cavalier was all basic with manual windows and such and I was telling him that vehicles this age/mileage will have things go and the more things that are electronic the more expensive and harder to fix they will become. Long story short, he loves his little Cavalier and the little EcoTech 2.2.

    It's probably quite costly to make a coupe when it really isn't going to be cheaper.  Just different. People who probably want small economy cars want practicallity and small coupes aren't exactly that.

      Genesis News: Genesis debuts a Long Wheelbase G90 Black Edition

      By smk4565 · Posted

      All black to me is a lack of style and design.  It shows no creativity or imagination, it is just lazy to make everything 1 color.  Also I am tired of this gloss black trim trend on the outside and inside of cars, "paint black" fingerprint magnet center consoles. They don't really sell many of these G90s, did they need to make an extended version?  Do they even sell in China where they are buying EV's and buying local more and more?

      I understand @Drew Dowdell 's concern regarding politics in this forum. But, what gets me, is that too many Americans are afraid to engage in 'politics'. Its like some sort of taboo.  Rule #1:  Do not talk about Fight Club politics Rule #2:  DO NOT TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB  POLITICS What is politics anyway? politics: derived from an ancient  GREEK word politika which means "affairs of the cities".   Polis is city in GREEK. Politikos in ancient and in modern Greek means of or relating to citizens which in turn there is another GREEK word politis which is citizen. Politics in English refers to the governance of an area.  And "governance" includes all kinds of stuff and ideas. And those stuff and ideas are governed by and to the people of that area. Much like that original Greek word and idea where the English word and idea comes from.   Politics is not taboo. Politics has been made taboo by those above us governing us to control us by simply telling us not to engage in politics.  To not share ideas.  To not talk about politics. I was asked to answer a question about caring. Caring about politics and about caring regarding our political landscape of our lands of where we reside and call home/home country. We also use an example to not talk about politics in these forums as an escape from the real world.  Because politcs are real tough. Yeah well...Ive defined politics in another thread in these here forums to which I just copy/pasted again. I also said in that thread in these here forums that we simply cannot escape politics.  We cannot.  And we have to care about politics.  Because caring about politics is caring for your community, for your well being for yourself in your community and for your fellow neighbours.  And as a WHOLE to progress and evolve and not devolve. Too many entities in the U.S. right now only want to MUZZLE information regarding politics and are only interested in spreading mis and dis information for not the greater good of the majority of the people but for benefit of a very select few. Simply stated: I simply REFUSE to be muzzled to talk about politics. I will continue to post articles that refute mis and dis information. Since the last time I posted in here, the current President of the United (HA!) States of America has gone  tariff wild. On and off and on and off only to put on more tariffs on foreign cars including those from Canada only to retreat that statement from cars coming from Canada that have at least a 50% American content in them and so forth and so forth. The problem lies that automotive treaties have been signed by Canada and the US regarding 60 years ago. This current deall at least.  The excuse being that President in charge wants to build the American automotive industry again. *SIGH* Mis and dis information Trump also has imposed tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminium.  *SIGH* GM and Ford of AMERICA uses Canadian steel and aluminium because the US simply cannot produce enough. *SIGH* All those factories that NEED to be built, where will Ford and GM get their steel and aluminum from? Canada? Russia? Trump keeps on saying that the US does not need Canada. But Canada needs to be American state #51   There is so much bullshyte from Trump  just from this single scenario that if Americans do NOT talk about politics, Trump and the powers that enable Trump will be duping Americans for a loooooonnnng time.  This rant ends. But Ill be back for mor political informing as it is MY duty to keep you informed.

      Yes. I don't mind the black on black w/ my CT6 because I have plenty of shiny bits inside and out and some other color inside w/ the wood trim.  I couldn't stand everything black.

      Agreed. If I was a bond villain, I'd go with the all-black. But I prefer brown or other colors.
