The cruze in camo isn't impressive and that render doesn't help. It's the same Crzue with a little better head/taillights. Still behind the times.

Sad too. I think the Cruze is a good little car. They need to improve the styling and add a manual to the diesel and it's good.

My personal opinion is that the front end is actually a step back (I think the current Cruze is a lot more aggressive), the only thing that render improved was the rear end. Good news is though, that render likely has as much in common with the next Cruze as all these 6th gen renders have in common with the real 6th gen Camaro.

I'd also suggest the need for a coupe, wagon, and an actual sport model (preferably using a variant of the 2.0L turbo used in the ATS, Malibu, and Regal).

I haven't been impressed with the Cruze either in its white and black camo shots...I know I can't really judge it, but the car just looks fat to me. Like a cheaper, chubby economy car. Hopefully seeing the real deal will change my mind.

I actually really like the current Cruze. in RS trim I think it still looks awesome...I'd drive one. I don't think it looks dated, but I guess it is time for a refresh.

Actually it's fairly obvious even with the camo that a lot's been changed.

Every once in a while GM actually manages to take a decent press photo or two.

My exact thoughts...

the refreshed version, that should be being built now, was sh!tcanned, because there wasn't enuff change to it...

I hope that one in Brazil aint what were getting...the front looks like a ford sub-compact of a few years ago...

new, updated dies should be rolling in late summer/early fall...probly actually building cars jan 2015...

I really like that...full bumper, etc

wish they'd spend the extra 10 cents on wire and relocate the OnStar antenna to the rear/middle of the roof...

Probably either a dealer "package" to run up the price, or something an owner added. You can buy those decals on EBay.

Fen, how far in the product cycle is the equinox?

FenwickHockey65 · 02-03-2014, 04:56 PM

What do you mean?

It's in its 4th model year right now. Should be moving to D2XX in a few years.
