    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

    Where do you live that you still see Cavaliers on the road? Ho-LEE

     

     

    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.

      Genuine question here. What do you think should be done about gun violence? I, too, believe there is an issue, but don't exactly have a good solution. I'm all fine with background checks, FOID cards(firearm owners identification) and waiting periods. IL has all of those already and has for as long as I can remember.  What are you and everybody else's' solutions? I'm open to opinions.

      The joke is on you. No religion is "legit". There are just some with more money than others.

      A front wheel drive Oldsmobile 442?   Hmmmmmm....  Yeah...it may have a more plushy ride than a regular Cutlass and it could  be called a baby Toronado because of it, I guess,  but I think Ill pass on wanting a Cutlass 442 with FWD. Even with a 455 powering the (front) wheels.  Id happily own a Toronado though. 1966.   Retomodded as I feels like I would want disk brakes at the front as a minimum.   I like the fact that the wheel base is 2 inches longer than the normal Cutlass coupe though.  You could see the added 2 inches makes for an even better looking A body.   That colour is AMAZING!!!   I saw this episode yesterday.  I try not to miss any Jay Leno's garages...

      I do not think that Americans are insane because FAKE Christians brandish AR-15s in sermon... I think Americans are insane: 1. Because a faction of dumb phoquing Americans have faith and follow FAKE pastors in FAKE churches practicing a FAKE religion under the guise of Christianity.  And then all the rest of the idiot Americans have the phoquing balls to include ALL the religions as being bad JUST because shytty factions of snake oil salesmen have taken control over their phoquing dumb ass country.    Spare me the talk about magic men in the sky with the LEGIT religions.  Just because FAKE phoquing prophets...ie humans, took aspects of religion to feed their greed and hatred and to bamboozle phoqueheads, that has NOTHING to do with the religions itself.  Mega church,  TV evangelists, mormons,  evangelical phoquetards and everything else the United States of America calls a religion that is said to be Christian but  BLATANTLY DEFIES ANYTHING REMOTELY that defines Christianity is the problem that plagues the well being of the US. Including the phoquing Pilgrims that came over the phoquing Mayflower that called themselves the Calvinist Protestants...    And do NOT get me started with the original bullshyte Anglican and Protestant churches of merry 'ole England to which one of the two was invented or altered because fat phoquing King Henry VIII wanted to divorce his wife but couldnt.  He ended up decapitating 2 of his other wives...   This phoquing problem with religion in the US starts right there...in merry 'ole shytty England.  The rest of the religions of the world are pretty OK Id say.   So I find it insane that Americans are phoquing clueless about who is phoquing them royally.  (pun intended)  2.  I find it insane that Americans are hit with gun violence at EVERY junction in everyday life and then see phoquing insane people brandishing guns "peacefully", like this phoquing idiot, and then be surprised that gun violence hits them at EVERY phoquing junction of everyday life.   3. And then do NOTHING to stop gun violence. Not even as much as to quell it a little bit.  But use excuses to quell gun violence by adding...more guns to the equation... 4. I find it insane that Americans actually believe that America is the ONLY nation that has gun culture and are free to own guns.  I also find it insane how Americans are so phoquing IRRESPONSIBLE with gun ownership and how they parrot nonsensical phrases from all those snake oil salesmen that continue to help them kill  themselves...   And are proud of it. THAT last part is truly the insane part. The pride of continuing to kill oneself...from within.  From their fellow American neighbour...
