The EPA puts the Volt's miles per gallon mark at 35 miles per charge, at which point the car resorts to its gas tank. The Cruze Eco should get around 28 mpg in the city and 42 on the highway, according to the report. Although the Cruze's numbers don't match up as well as the Volt's, the report said its efficiency was certainly respectable for a non-hybrid car. Driving Days

The Cruze is also significant because Chevrolet claims it ushers in a new styling strategy for the brand. We have to wait to see what that means for future Chevys, but we can say that the Cruze definitely looks good from nearly every angle. The front end is aggressive and powerful, and the rear impresses with its wide stance and taillights similar in shape to those of the BMW 7-series and Lexus LS. Vehicle Logistics

$41K too much for you? Then buy the Cruze for $17K. There won't be anywhere enough Volts to go around.

You can spend a whole lot more for a car and get 100 year old piston technology. I'll pay the $41K for the VOlt, the highest technology production car ever built.

It’s rice “paddies”, and it’s not what you think it is. A rice paddy is a field where rice farmers work. So if the Cruze sells like rice paddies, then it’s not selling very well at all.

I like the direction G.M. is going in. I definately agree with Oscar as well about the Volt. The Cruz is going to sell in China, (the largest automotive market in the world) like rice patties. Any grumpy taxpayers, mad about the loan to G.M., should buy stock when it comes out. China’s just getting started and so is eneral Motors.

The Cruze and Volt are the “foundation” for Chevy’s small car success. Cruze has already sold over a quarter million units world wide. But Chevy will have to get it in the hands of the intenders before they go to Honda or Toyota. Thanks will take some sharp marketing…probably “event marketing.

I think it’s awesome that the most fuel efficient Cruze model is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission!

In my opinion the Volt is a stepping-stone to more advanced vehicles but the target buyer will be a well-to-do person who strives to show a "green" side to their life...sort of a badge of honor. "Looky here, I'm saving our world, saving our environment".

In one expensive move they can be respected and loved by others of that genre.

I find it friggin’ hilarious that the Cruze gets better highway mileage than the Volt (which is 3x more expensive.) For the Volt, 300 miles of cruising range on a 9 gallon tank is 33 MPG. For anyone considering a thrifty automobile, the Cruze, not the Volt, is the smart choice.

Nope! Chevy, those stupid excuses for that over inflated price did not get you a sale. You sounded like one of those dumb dealer TV advertisements from the 70′s. 40 is not a magical number; 40 is the number where you start whoring around on your spouse.
