    isn't it meant to be the small car replacement for the viva/astra? only makes sense to offer in smaller engines

    i wonder if there'll be a greenbox or similar developed for the tractor version... hmm

    Freind of mine picks hers up in about a week and a half, don't think she'll be modding at all, but I'm wanting to check it out...

    My gf has just bought one in moroccan blue, should have it next monday Click here to enlarge

    I was extremely surprised at the quality of it when i went for a test drive, very nice especially for the price!

    I wouldn't call it a 'fast' car, but it's not trying to be (I wouldn't call it slow either). It was very smooth to drive and the gearchanges felt great (didn't try the semi-auto, only the manual). Seats are quite comfortable and the whole interior looks and feels like it belongs in a much more expensive car.

    I can't wait to drive it, if I can prize the keys out of my gf's hand Click here to enlarge lol...


    PS...there are plans for window tint and 18's at some point too Click here to enlarge

    The 1.4L direct injected turbo engine is supposed to be coming soonish, probably to the later models of the Aussie version.

    i like them

    and i can see the aesthetic modding potential in them for sure
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    Agree with above from what I've seen so far...

    It's definitely NOT a performance car, nor is it trying to be one, so people shouldn't look at it in that way, it's just a nice medium sized normal DD vehicle Click here to enlarge

    The price range with the top end spec ain't that cheap though ! the one my freind purchased cost just over 29k on road, that is with all the bells and whistles and in auto (petrol model)...

    I'm going to try and get a test drive of the TDi and see how well that variant stacks up Click here to enlarge

    The Cruze is getting very good reviews. (Much to the dissapointment of the GMDAT haters) But if you want to see something really good, wait for Holden's design of their small car.
