Hi Varun

Great Buy. The car looks swank. Enjoy the ride.

Best luck.

Fantastic looking car. She looks great in white. The interiors look spot on. I bet you are waiting for the run in period to get over.

How is the turbo lag in B2B traffic?

MutantX · 21st October 2009, 19:17

awsome and jawdroping! i love this car. If I had atleast 8 Lakhs with me I would have bought this car with the rest on SBI Loan

.

Superb car and a true VFM. All features are those which can be found only on 20 L+ (C+) segment cars! Chevy has done its bit and I am sure the car would make other so called C+ segments bite the dust.

As for now, I am only admire this beauty!

This is what really matters brother. The "feel good" factor should be there when you buy a new car (when u buy anything for that matter). And we can see that you had a great experience buying the car. Cool.

Man !!!... That car looks stunning in white. Awesome choice brother. Happy revving for years to come. Please update ASAP with a detailed review.

Hey thats a great lookin Chevy bro!! AWESOME front and cockpit!
hats off to Chevy to be able to pull this off.

I really admire Chevy, as inspite of all the Jap car mania here in US, its been taking them head-on with its recent offerings and does a pretty decent job - what with syling and mileage.

If only they could produce some engine gems like the VTEC...they would be reigning supreme.

Coming back to Cruze, i think its got the looks to drool for, and as long as one can manage the turbo lag, this is a real VFM awesome car!

All the best with the drool machine!!
pls post pics of the side profile as well.

FlyingSpur · 21st October 2009, 21:47

Awesome ! Is this the first one here?

MAS · 21st October 2009, 21:56

Hi Varun,

Wow. Looks simply superb.

I have not been following the "I booked my car" thread and so this came as a big pleasant surprise to me.

The pictures look even better than those i had seen in the earlier threads. Please post a photo of its side profile.

Safe driving... Remember, "with great power comes great responsibility"

Nikhilb2008 · 21st October 2009, 22:09

Superb! Congrats! Definitely one of the best cars this side of 15 lakhs.

The first thing you should have done however, even before taking pics, is to change those crappy tyres. Get a good set of Continental CPC2.

drbabuanand · 21st October 2009, 22:11

hi varun
nice car,congrats , drive safe.

_raVan_ · 21st October 2009, 22:25

achinthg · 21st October 2009, 22:33

vinaydas · 21st October 2009, 22:34
