Chevrolet Cruze LTZ 2.0 Diesel : Test Drive & Review

Raj2402 · 11th October 2009, 11:19

When is the official launch of the car? I mean when will the prices for every city will be released?
Everyone thinks that 14L for a chvery cruze is too much, hope GM surprises on Pricing nicely not like other failures where they put a high price tag at launch and then keep reducing prices when car doesnt sell.

Part 2-booklet brochure

Sarvodaya · 11th October 2009, 18:16

Any news on the pricing? Hope they will launch an auto version soon.

Scoopmaster at it again! I love the brochure design, full of attitude with a black colour and screaming fonts. How about an insight on the pricing Sid

?

18.3 kpl ARAI! Holy crap, thats nice. To put this in perspective, the Ritz petrol is 17.7 and the diesel about 21. Expect 11 kpl from the Cruze in the city easily with a light foot.

Lotsa difference between the trim levels of the LT & LTZ, indicating an aggressive entry price perhaps? Only 20 hours away, I can't wait!

Part 3 booklet brochure remaining pages.
Expect the pricing to be about 12,50,000-13,50,000 (as told to me)

Great pictures Sid!!!
My stomach is feeling the jitters!!!
Hope they get the pricing right.

Brilliant Brouchure. Chevy is going all out with the Cruze.

Just hope the sales & service teams have been trained well to handle this car. The biggest problem I've felt with Chevy was its sales dept which were not good enough to promote their cars well.

stanjohn123 · 11th October 2009, 19:08

Its pretty clear chevy is givin too much hype for the car..just hope they don't flop it like a movie with too much hype and then it gets too borin later...

Great work Scoop king! I love the brochure and even more the price! Civic and Altis must watch out. I heard GM already has over 1000 booking for the Cruze! Looks like they've got it right this time.
The Start/Stop button looks very tachy. I wish it had something like an Aston Martin or Jaguar. But that would only be a dream in such a car.

rajivn · 11th October 2009, 19:20

What a brochure man.? Stunning work. I am completely sold on this stuff.

Great job Sid!

deky · 11th October 2009, 19:28

Great scoop Sid. As mentioned by you, Pricing is expected to be below 13lacs Ex-Showroom in Jaipur.

vinaydas · 11th October 2009, 19:37

looking good!
any factory offered modifications like body kits etc?
and is the MFID upgradable to the wide screen color GPS systems that is available to international cruize owners.

You are not simple Sidindica. You are 'Sindindica Vista'!

Thank you buddy.

KITE RUNNER · 11th October 2009, 19:48

Thank you very much for the great work Sid, looks like a highly desirable car from Chevy.
If the pricing is right, it will definitely succeed with some aggressive marketing.

Now waiting for the detailed drive report from GTO.
