The hybrid idea scares me.  The Cruze as it stands needs to lose about 400lbs to be within the realm of its competitors.  Imagine throwing in 300lbs of battery  :-\ :-\ :-\

Or GM can just sell the Volt for the same price as the Cruze and call it a day :)  That'd be nice.  I'd buy that.

While the diesel is a porker, a Cruze LT w/Auto weighs 3118 lbs.
Mazda 3 GS w/auto - 2912 lbs
Toyota Corolla LE w/CVT - 2855 lbs
Jetta Trendline w/manual - 3007 lbs
Honda Civic LX w/CVT - 2830 lbs

The theoretical 2718 lbs Cruze would be the lightest in its class - not "within the realm."

If you were simply using hyperbole to make light of the Cruze's weight problem - I apologize. I know you're kidding about the price thing, right? Right?

Not that there's anything wrong with the car but some things just aren't tease-worthy.

but like a thread on corollas, it's what people actually will respond to... sure we want to see the hellcats and mustangs, but this is what sells. make people think it more special than it is and you have a winner!

and hey... it's still a few pounds lighter than the dart...

Yes but not many who post here or read here on a regular basis. Cruze responses and chatter is low.

I agree, who they teasing !!! Better off on a macramé board.  :P

That's like giving a "participant" award.  Congrats, you're now skinnier, albeit still grossly obese.

Tease, or the whole taste?

If you black dip the Volt 2.0 front aluminum fascia looks, it'll be very difficult to differentiate from an incoming 2016 Cruze, at least on a quick look. They're quite different from the back point of view, but not so much ...

That picture looks like one of a production-ready vehicle. I assume it will look very similar. While not remarkable, it looks good.
