All I know is that dealers around here were not able to get them for a long time and even now they have trouble getting more than 2 or 3. I would guess the bigger issue though is the thumpy CVT and difficult to use MyFordTouch crap. i wouldn't buy one with it. That said the things like 3 different engines, up to 3 different transmissions, high scale options, available AWD, and more than likely a future SRT version should provide good. if they can manage to push nearly 10000 Chrysler 200s a month for the last how many months, than they should have no problem selling the MUCH superior Dart in very decent numbers. Will it sell in Cruze numbers? I have no idea. Could it? Certainly! My whole point origionally was about design only, where lookswise the Dart is just plain and sporty compared to the Cruzes everysedan and rather boring. the Cruze is about a 4 year old design and it really looks it.
As for the Cruze, I like it, but the lack of power and wonky transmission (that part hopefully fixed for 12), really turned me off from it.
