CRUZn in the USA?
Well, maybe it was "ROCKn in the USA" by Mellencamp. Perhaps ROCKn was a momentary name consideration that Chevrolet's Marketing Team looked at, but they went with CRUZE instead. Maybe there was a legal issue with ROCKn or maybe I am just working too hard on coming up with a catchy title.
That being said, there is nothing 'catchy' or gimmicky about Chevrolet's new 2011 Cruze. They studied the competitve landscape purveying the Corolla from Toyota and Honda's Civic, and frankly, designed and engineered a superior mid-sized compact. With styling, design points, safety, comfort, handling and connectivity taken into consideration, it leaves little room for imagination when driving this car visa vi the other brands.
Will be doing a formal Women-Drivers.com HIS and HER Car Review shortly on this car, so will hold on all its' bragging points, but this 138 horsepower six speed engine, is quiet and serene on the hilly Ohio and Pennsylvania Turnpikes on my 100 miles trek driving it. I wasn't sure about the ponies, but the Cruze cruzed and handled the cruves with aplomb and ease.
StabilityTrack Electronic Stability Control, Disc brakes, 10 standard airbags, On Star (6 mo.), BlueTooth, Navigation system (6 months), XM Radio (3 months) and so much more. Starting at $16,250 and topping off at $24K, this car is backed by an unprecedented 100,000 mile/5 year Powertrain Warranty. Mileage? 24 city and 38 (or higher) highway. And, made in the USA.
Go to the oldest Chevrolet dealer in the USA Colussy Chevrolet or, locate the Cruze at any other of the 3,000+ Chevrolet dealers now. Ladies, they are so confident about this vehicle, most dealers will have the Honda and Toyota models on their lot so you can save time, and test drive those. Bold? Agressive? Confident? I think so. After driving the Cruze today, I get why. It is in the category "Best Buy".
Drive Your Bargain,
