Chevy will be releasing the Cruze next year as a replacement for the Cobalt and Aveo. It’s going to be built in Ohio, and is reported to get 45mpg! If they come through on that figure, and it comes in a stick, I’m interested. Anyone else see it yet? ---

CRZ is cool but I don’t think there’s any indication of a production version? From what I read the CRZ was basically a “styling exercise” for the some “High Tech Sporty” design scheme? Honda is pretty conservative and not exactly known for bringing concept cars to market - especially considering the economy now, I’m not sure a “hybrid sports car” is where they’re going in 09. Have you seen news on what the CRZ styling is supposedly being put into? My guess is that it won’t be anything like the CRZ itself (although the S2000 replacement is supposedly on the horizon). ---

I thought the Cruze was going to be the replacement for the Aveo? I don’t know that there are any plans to end the Cobalt or G5 yet??? Edit: Just saw it’s going to replace the Cobalt. Which is good because I think they have worse build quality than my Cavalier, which is pretty bad. ---
