    still youd think you would have one as a demo car. whats the point of trying to sell something if you cant see what your buying.

    but seriously these korean cars..i wonder if they are "single serving cars"
    meaing..you drive them for 3 years and throw away...then in 3 years its a different model/car all together.
    Make me a sandwich.

    The Cruze looks the goods i think. GMDAT have had developed the car and Holden have had a huge input to the development. I do recall saying some time ago that the GMDAT products would get better with time though but was shot down many times for saying it.

    Best colour IMO is red.

    Not as big as a current mid size car such as the Ford Mondeo.

    In the current market, it's a small car. Have a look at something like a Mazda 3... it's the size of a Vectra B too, yet it's a small car.
    This is true, car scales have crept up...

    However the new Mazda 3 sedan is alot bigger than the old Vecce B...having checked them out, it even seems bigger in height and width than the previous Mazda 6...

    A new Ford Mondeo is about the same size as a VT-VZ Commodore, except slightly shorter, but a bit taller...I was in a Ford showroom 2 weeks ago checking out the FPV XR6T and XR8's and spotted the top model Mondeo, but at 1st thought it was a Falcon...it's about the same size, in fact AFAIK the Mondeo is now classed as a 'large family car'...

    The majority of the current small car class market are definitely 'big' small cars, you have to go to say a Nissan Micra to get a proper small car but even that car is taller or nearly as tall as a large class car...

    One would think that the constant growth in size has to stop at somepoint...

    Makes sense, GMH would have to improve them for successful future business if they are to become it's core products, replacing all of its Opels...hopefully we some even better models in the future...

    Also agree on your colour choice, IMHO 'chilli red' is by far the best colour on this new Cruze, although I also like that very light silvery blue 'iced blue' colour...

    Spotted a red Cruze on the road today, they look fine.
    Much better than the Epica and Barina.
    But GMH has become a one trick pony over the last few years.

    More details please - what is its spec ??

    One thing I know or have found out is that in approx. 12-18 months the Cruze will be built/assembled locally and not fully imported !!!

    This does raise the question - will they be better or worse if this happens ???

    It may be a Daewoo, but their production standard and quality control is very good ATM with their more recent products...
