No matter how you slice it, Fiesta will own the cruze.

P.S. I’m impressed you actually know what hubris is….lol.

And just because A4 names himself after an Audi, does not mean he knows Euro cars at all. His “assessment” of the Cruze is totally at odds with what the major European Auto publications have said about the car including Autocar and Car magazine, two of the best in the business. That leads me to believe he hasn’t tried the car, or he simply knows fck all about them.

And as for A4 saying do a little God Damn searching on him…wow..hubris much? Are you king of the LLN forum sweetie? Awww Kudos to you….Kudos…

The Fiesta will own the Cruze. As has been stated previous, Chevy likes to overlap product with similar product and dupe the consumer into thinking it’s something fresh all the while they end up competing with themselves. Stupid, but classic GM.

Secondly, a friggin briggs and stratton engine could power a generator for a car….if it can power my house, it can power a damn car.

Thirdly, A4 knows Euro cars, as he has shown here time and time again. I travel to europe for business quite a bit, and yes I see cars there we can’t touch. Get off your high horse please.

So please, if you’re going to try and make a point, at LEAST educate yourself in the most basic knowledge about me before bashing. I mean, you don’t want to look like a total coc|< sucker now do you?

1st Corolla is lot more expensive. If you pay an extra 5000 euro, yes you have a better car but if can do that you’ll propably get a Seat Leon that actually feels good to drive and is a lot faster than the Corolla.

2nd Fiesta is a smaller car. Really smaller. 4m for the (very good) Fiesta, 4.6 for the Cruze. Want that in inches? 26.5! The fuel consumption is not different and this is the reason the Cruze is so slow. The gear box has very long… Whatever you call it. Ford might be faster put they are on the same price and while Fiesta is a full size city car, Cruze is full size family car – European standars.

None said Cruze is the greates, but for the price of it, this car is propably the best buy for a family man.

So please, if you’re going to try and make a point, at elast educate yourself in the most basic of motoring knowledge. I mean you don’t want to look like a total retard fanboy trasher now do you?

Seems you missed the point. Funny that you say that about Suzuki though, as they produced the first generation Chevrolet Cruze back in 99 or 2000 or somewhere around there. LOL. I’ll let you slide on that one though lil guy.

However, both the Ford Fiesta and Toyota Corolla cost less and get better mileage than the Cruze. The Ford is faster 0-60 despite having less horsepower and the Corolla was something like .2 seconds behind the Cruze’s blistering 10 second 0-60 time. I can tell you that much and I don’t even live in Europe! Sure the diesel get’s 3 mpg better than the gasoline version but it sounds like a dumptruck.

But hey it’s still a four door coupe! Pfft! HAHAHA

Suzukis have stability control…Tell me name one other compelling reason to buy any suzuki? hmm must order one now. Another loser than knows ZERO about cars.

Get outta town! That technology sounds so advanced I bet you have to get a special license just to ride in the passenger seat!!!

1. My first benz from the early 80′s had climate control

2. You must be kidding. Seats that get warm? Thought they only had that on the space shuttle.

3. Auto headlights? Welcome to the 90′s

4. SUZUKIS have stability control

5. My toaster has ipod connectivity.

What’s with the hostile comments towards A4? You thought you were the first to try out this “monument to human achievement?”

If you had driven the car, you would know that it is an excellent small car built on a state of the art platform designed by Opel. The interior is probably the best I have personally been in of any car in its class. Its certainly the freshest design and its very nicely made.

The car handles and rides beautifully and anyone stepping into one from the Cobalt is going to be in another world. the difference is as great as The G8 was from the Grand Prix. Its an exceptional small car and it has a great stance on the road, especially with the nicer alloys available.

Its also stacked with features including everything from heated leather seats, climate control, 6 aibrags, stability control to the nice suprise and delight features like Ipod connection and auto lamps and parking sensors. It is without a doubt one of the best value small cars on the market cos what you get for you cash is exceptional.

How do I know this? Cos I have OWNED one for the past 2 months so I’m not sitiing in my moms cellar talking out of my ass.

So many douchbag haters here its not even funny.

*cough* car for idiots *cough*

well, really it’s a car for “progressive” idiots. you know, the idiots in the front of the idiot line.

honestly, it’s great and all that gm is competing with the upcoming first round of production ev’s, but my money, and I’m willing to bet A LOT, is on complete failure and probable withdrawal within a couple years.

There’s just no sense in paying that much for a car that beides it’s powerplant is on par with other lukewarm gm desings that can be had for half the price. There’s really no co2 or cost savings here, I don’t know what they are relying on to sell these things besides the initial hype. Possibly get a couple famous faces in them and sell a few thousand. But once the honeymoon is over they will have wasted even more of our tax dollars just so they can have a “green” image.

I say let the niche luxury sports car manufacturers and other automakers who ARENT on the verge of collapse pave the way. In five to seven years, whenever (if ever) electric cars become a viable and somewhat mainstream mode of transportation, then start building them.

Not that I really care anymore whether gm commits financial suicide, there’s just the issue of all the money that has been thrown at them. Hopefully they pay it back first. Just seems like an obviously stupid decision to me.

LWA, I think you and I are about the same age, although having a dad in radio sure makes getting music a lot different. I didn’t purchase any music until I was probably 17, and that was some Italian/Spanish artist that my dad couldn’t get for me. For the most part, I’d just ask him for something, and he’d bring me a demo LP or cassette, and then eventually they came on CD. Since he ran mostly carts, he would dub the demos onto the carts and then store the demos, but more often than not, he’d get two or three demos just in case. Heck, I even got albums before the public could buy them. What’s funny is that I never thought anything of it until a few years ago, and I thought, “Damn, I was a lucky kid.”

Anyway, I remember the investment for CD players, and DVD players, and all that stuff. It’s always pricey. My dad bought one of the first 65″ Mistubishi HDTVs for nearly $7,000, and now I can’t even sell the damn thing for a measly $500. It’s amazing how much the prices fall for new tech.

Just Kill me now.

it dose not need a turbo because the gas engine is not propelling the car an electric motor is.

the 1.4 would only be generating strait to the wheels at high way speeds and cursing at high way speed a 1.4 can put out more then enough. it would put out extra energy enough to recharge the batteries while cruising. If you need to accelerate it will use the energy in the batteries gained from cruising and decelerating (with is the same amount of energy to get it back up to speed (ideally if 100% efficient, wont be but 100% but close enough with the gas engine)

More like they were $800, just like BluRay. I may be dating myself a bit here, but I remember when DVD players came out, and people complained that the movies would be $20 each. Heck, our first CD player was about $500, and it’s a POS compared to a CD Walkman now. My dad still has that old CD player in his radio station warehouse.
