In the now-infamous press conference from General Motors this morning, Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner not only spelled out GM's strategy to save itself from impending doom, but also revealed pretty much every upcoming GM vehicle that hadn't already been shown to the public. This includes the first photos of the 2011 Chevy Cruze, 2010 Cadillac SRX, 2010 Saab 9-4X, and the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. This comes in addition to official confirmation of the 2010 Buick LaCrosse, 2010 Cadillac CTS Coupe and 2010 Cadillac CTS Wagon. So basically, along with GM's own downsizing, they're also putting plenty of enterprising spy photographers out of business too.

Apparently the Cruze will not be replacing the Cobalt but will be a separate model.
 
So is the 2010 Buick LaCrosse going to be Buick's new RWD car for the US?

I'm really not sure on that one. I think the article is incorrect. There has been news of a RWD Buick and this could be it........
 
Made of fail. Still more SUVs, and ONE new small car.

Really, really, really stupid.

What I posted isn't all that's coming, just what there are photos for. Other smaller vehicles are on their way as are more efficient engines. I'm not sure if you read or not but the Equinox will be equipped with a direct-injected 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine. The Cadillac, Buick, and Saab will be more efficient than what they will be replacing.

In their defense that one small car looks about a million times better than the car it will replace.

The Cobalt will continue and the Cruze will be a separate model.

I'll wait for real numbers, not the noise of that loose cannon. The only thing I can trust about that man's words is that the facts will come back to contradict him.
 
Ignoring the front, the Cruze isn't too bad at all - from rear three-quarter it's a nice shape.


And then you see the front.
 
I've seen the Saab SUV, and decided: GM is full of fail. GM, Give the European brands to someone who knows how to deal with them (not Tata for instance) and die in peace.

That's unfortunate.

Not really. It's selling fairly well at the moment.

GM already has way to much product overlap to now have 2 cars from 1 brand in the small car sector. Only exception is if the "Cruze" ends up being the Chevy equivalent of an (neon) SRT-4.

Regardless, it actually looks good. If it'll drive as well as I hear the SS turbo does, I'd have to seriously look at it.
 
except for the Chevy Cruze, they're ALL hideous.
besides, by the time they make these things they'll all look different and more bland and boring

According to Lutz....yes on both accounts.

Listening to Lutz and GM is like listening to the Bush administration on future predictions on the Iraq war. Are there any shots of the Cruze exterior? I want to see if they've actually put any effort in making a proper small car.
