Holden Cruze

[Reaper]

LOL, I'm in the same boat Reaper. We'll be in the market for a car for the mrs in a few months and she's already sold on the Cruze! I think it would look good in the garage beside the SSV. So yeah, a test drive is definitely on the cards when they come out...

Anyone have any idea on pricing??

Low/mid $20k. Similar to most in that class.

Meh, its just another boring 4 cylinder FWD that doesn't really bring anything new to the table...doesn't interest me at all I'm afraid.

Ton better than the Viva that it replaces. I think it will do ok in its market segment.

I don't think its even near its own Korean competition let alone what else is out there. The Hyundai i30 is under 20k, so the Cruze is going to have to be VERY competitively priced.


Its main competition is probably the new Ford Focus, the new Mazda 3, the Hyundai i30, Kia Cerato, Honda Civic and Jazz and of course the Toyota Corolla and maybe even the Holden Astra.

Mazda 3 is 20k. Honda Civic is 22k/Honda Jazz 16k. Even the base model Astra is only 22k, and the Ford Focus is 20k as well.

The Viva is about 19k, hence why it doesn't sell as for the price there are much better cars out there. The Cruze will have to be priced at or under 20k.

Yeah those cars in another leauge no doubt but it'll be ok for those wanting to support Holden(ish) been awhile since they had a Camira

It's just a shame the damn thing is hideous

I've seen pictures?, even if it's the best handling small fwd car in the world (which it wont be) it's quite bad looking, it's a Daewoo and it's up against some very good German and Japanese cars in the same price range. It's a big ask to outsell those kind of cars especially when you have perhaps the least gifted in the looks department to start with

Looks are very subjective and everybodies opinion - good bad or indifferent is valid. I was more referring to build quality, seat comfort and general impressions of it vs it's peers.
