What are they going to do with the Cobalt? I always liked that car. I though it was supposed to take the place of the Cavalier.

When will Dodge finally wake up and have a small, cheap entry-level car again? They haven't had one since they dropped the Neon back in '04 or '05.

The Cruze will replace the Cobalt, I think.

Oh boy, a spoiler on a front wheel drive car. Can you say "Ricer"? Say it with me boys..... RICER!:lol:

I see a lot of potential in ricing this vehicle and I think youngsters won't miss the opportunity to rice it more than what it already looks.

The body style does look like it belongs in a race track though. I kind of like the race car look to it.

It won't replace it, it already did.

VEHICLE HIGHLIGHTS
The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze replaces Cobalt as the compact car from General Motors' volume division. Cruze is a 4-door sedan that comes in LS, LT, LTZ, and fuel-economy-oriented Eco trim levels. LT models are subdivided into 1LT and 2LT. The LS has a 136-horsepower 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine. The 1LT, 2LT, LTZ, and Eco use a 138-horsepower turbocharged 1.4-liter 4-cylinder engine. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard on the LS and Eco. A 6-speed automatic is optional on those models and standard on the LT and LTZ. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain-side airbags, front- and rear-side airbags, and front-knee airbags. Cruze Eco models have ultra-low-rolling-resistance tires and other aerodynamic tweaks designed to increase fuel economy. Available on the LT and LTZ is an RS Appearance Package, which includes fog lights and specific exterior trim. Leather upholstery, heated front seats, remote engine start, and a wireless cell-phone link are standard on the 2LT and LTZ. A sport suspension is standard on LTZ. Rear-obstacle detection is optional on the LT and standard on the LTZ. This evaluation is based on preview test drives of pre-production vehicles.

I think the Cruze is being built in Ohio. :thumbs:

Yup, looks like GM announced, back in August of 2008, that the Cruze would be built in the same plant as the cobalt was built.

New Chevrolet Cruze to be built in Lordstown, Ohio
Lordstown, OHIO – General Motors Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Rick Wagoner today announced that the company will invest more than $500 million in the U.S. to build the Chevrolet Cruze, an all-new global compact car. The vehicle will be built at its Lordstown, Ohio plant. The Chevy Cruze will be officially unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in a few short weeks. In a surprise move, the investment announcement was accompanied by a glimpse of the Cruze life-size show property.

It won't ever be in my driveway, but I do like it. I think it has a lot of potential if the price doesn't run people off.
