We are going to look at the Cruze and Malibu for sure and maybe the Volt. I've had salespeople in the past talk out of their (_!_) and I've had 1 young salesman who knew everything I wanted to know(he no longer works at the Chevy Dealer :( ). If I can work it in, I'm going to try to get a test drive in a new Camaro convertible....

Like...
What platform are they on and where are they assembled?

I want a sales person who knows what they are selling..

Also on the list to look at....
Buick Verano, Regal
GMC Terrain
Ford Fusion, Focus
Lincoln MKZ

Thanks.
Cruze and Volt are on built on the Delta II platform. Cruze is assembled at the Lordstown Ohio plant, the Volt is built at the Detroit/Hamtramck plant in Michigan.

The Malibu is uses the Epsilon platform and is built at the Fairfax Kansas plant.
