    funny you mention it..I passed by one today while I was looking for a parking spot. It was in the Poison Ivy green I think...but even that didnt make it look any tougher lol. They make it out to be this great looking car. It doesnt even look like a Holden to me

    hmm would be interested in the ratio of male/female buyers ? do you think its targeted more to men ? men seem to like the shape.

    I dont mind the shape at all, i brought one for the misses in 09 when they came out.If they came out with the alloytec an in rear wheel drive it would appeal to me more.

    Take a look at the position of the lights. They wrap around getting thinner at the top with LED indicators that accent the Dame Edna effect.

    Was followed home by one. Very unattractive.

    they look alright to me, for what they are.
    The VF Commodore styling is based fairly heavily on the cruze, so if you don't like the cruze......

    why cant they just put their "prototype" models in. they always look sooo much better then what they dish out.

    and i really cannot tell the difference between that cruze and the old one
    how about we make the pedals out of sticky rubber and the shoes with steel spikes. at least my shins would like that

    I question the air intakes on the bonnet. Whole package not quite right.

    If someone wants not they can have it - I just think Dame Edna should be the public face due to the headlights.

    I reckon the fact that the cruze is a daewoo with holden badges glued on is why it looks ugly

    Is isn't a Daewoo. Opel is responsible for most of the engineering. I think it is a great looking small car.

    Opel may have engineered but Daewoo would have built (if they still exist)

    Cruz has been built in many countries including Russia, India, Brazil, China and Vietnam. Now it is being built in Australia so certainly not a Daewoo.

    Yeah it was a reworked Ignis but the new Cruz is a whole new car built on their Delta II platform designed under a global design and engineering team. Calling it a Daewoo is lame.
