Not exactly a dud, considering the lack of incentivesFilter out the Cobalt and fleet sales and where would the numbers be I wonder This is GM Canada's econobox segment buster and already $500 off the stripper and $1000 off the 1.4T.We've been stealing Cruze customers at both the Toyota and Nissan stores. In true GM fashion they launch a critically important vehicle with no leasing and no captive financing. When this vehicle first appeared it had competitors very concerned. But as attractive as the package appears, the drive train on the stripper unit sucks and the Turbo gets poor mileage. GM just can't do small I4s.
How can they be Cruze customers if the Cruze was just launched?Do you know how many Toyota and Honda and Nissan customers have been stolen at GM stores?

But as always, don't let any pesky facts get in your way.
Prior to entering BK (and during the "death watch"), GM were often the WOLRD's leader in sales (and segment leaders in the US).....and we know how well that turned out....

I don't recall any other compact other than Civic, Corolla and Mazda3 breaking 4000 units/month in the past 5 years or so.

It seems to me GM did supply those car mags with specially prepared samplers. In real life though a heavy car is heavy on fuel.http://www.youtube.com/user/consumerreports#p/u/7/3h_g9U4MAKY
