When will Holden realise that these Deawoo built cars will never cut it in Australia.

I dint care where Its designed . It’s the modern equivalent of saying I drive a Polski Fiat , Lada or Trebant.

If Holden/Daewoo have any hope of meeting their sales figures with this car they better offer a 5 year unlimited kilometer warranty. But the reality is, they’d probably go bankrupt (for good) after 3 years if they were to honour this warranty. We all know that Holden’s are far from reliable… very, very far from reliable. GM service, labour and spare parts would exceed the value of the car by year 5!!!

Yet another poor attempt by Holden to make money with a cheap inferior product although this is prefered to building a local four cylinder after the debarcles of the past.
I can guarantee Holden are well and truely heading for disaster when they start building a local four cylinder vehicle. Every four cylinder car Holden have built has been nothing short of an unmitigated disaster.
Mark Reuss is a poster boy for GM execs and the reason GM is in bankruptcy.

I cannot even imagine an exterior design more boring then the cruze. Maybe 10 years ago it would have looked appealing… but today it’s up against brilliant looking Fords and Mazdas. Annoying thing is, it’ll probably sell more then the Focus.

Duck,
I don’t see what you are trying to say with you CnP quote. There’s nothing there that isn’t well known. What is your point? The replacing Viva bit? That was covered hundreds of post ago.
BTW look for a 3 door hatch: styled in Aus. (But still engineered by GMDAT).

Brett, here you go then……….

“Holden’s engineers were also significantly involved in the development of the car – the replacement for the Astra and Viva, most likely to be called the Cruze – making it by far the most ‘Australian’ vehicle of its type in history when it is rolled out in 2010.

Furthermore, Holden hopes to trump Ford’s locally-built Focus small car by beating it to market by up to a year.”

So what website did you get yours from then? Ha?

Duck, just because it’s a Chev doesn’t mean it’s buit in the US.

And jut to keep you happy:

“A North American edition of the Cruze is slated to go into production in mid-2010 at GM’s Lordstown plant in Ohio..”

Can’t see how they can import it from the US before they actually start building it there!

“Apparently the Cruze could replace the Viva and the Astra”

Which rock exactly have you been under??
