Letter-based writing was invented because it was too damn hard to understand hieroglyphics. Seems like Chevy's social media people disagree.

I guess it's a game meant to entice young social media types to figure it out. It's a new take on the old decoder rings that you had to send off and get back in the 40's and 50's to decipher the coded message that turned out to just be a product ad promotion... Like in A Christmas Story...

DETROIT — In two days at the Fillmore Theatre at 7 p.m., a new Cruze will be born and you are going to love it.
The all-new 2016 Cruze blends innovative technology, striking design and impressive efficiency into one sporty ride. It’s the best new thing since sliced bread for stylish and socially connected people. A Chevrolet spokesperson said: “We had the idea that the new Cruze could change the world.”
  • Design: Athletic build, stylish and good looking
  • Technology: 7 connected devices with available 4G LTE Wi-Fi. Cool! First in its class to offer compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Bluetooth compatible. Touch screen. Speakers/music.
  • Seating: Seats 5
  • Fuel efficiency: The 2015 Cruze offers an EPA-estimated 35 mpg hwy. The 2016 Cruze is expected to offer better fuel economy, which is awesome. Look at how much time will pass before you need to fill up your tank again!
  • Safety: 10 air bags. Comes with OnStar standard for 6 months.
  • Available: Soon! Coming in Spring 2016.
  • Available: Globally
In conclusion, get ready to go places in your Cruze. It has the technology and fuel efficiency you need wrapped up in a fun ride. Prepare to fall in love.

I like it about as well as I can. I love Cadillac's styling, but it's hard to make anything really look that good when you're handed the proportions dictated by that platform.

Replaces SRX, although I think it's a bit bigger.
