Cruze will difinitely be built locally within 12 months, it's more an excercise of survival for GMH than anything else though...

At this stage there are no plans to create new variants, the only one I've heard of is a higher spec oiler variant to match the petrol CDX features list...

Would be interesting if they 'create' a coupe or more performance orientated variants and how they stack up against the competition...

Yeah, Holden's own design is going to be a hatch variant. As to whether it's called a Cruze remains to be seen...

I kinda like it, but yeah could be better Click here to enlarge

But then I also like the new Mazda 3 front end Click here to enlarge

I reckon this new Cruze CDX oiler will be a top seller as it's going to be available in both manual and auto trans choices Click here to enlarge
