Riding on the newly-revamped Delta platform, the Cruze will serve as GM’s global small-car, replacing both the Daewoo-built Lacetti (known to the U.S. as the Suzuki Forenza) overseas and the Chevrolet Cobalt here in North America.
Europeans will be able to buy their Cruzes with a 112-hp 1.6-liter I-4, 140-hp 1.8-liter I-4, or a 150-hp 2.0-liter turbodiesel I-4 underhood. Transmission choices include either the standard five-speed manual or an all-new six-speed automatic.
They’ll also be able to buy a Cruze before we will: the car goes on sale in Europe in early 2009, while we’ll have to wait until 2010 or 2011 to see production begin at GM’s factory in Lordstown, Ohio.
