Chevy: Volt-to-Cruze specs 2014

Cruze easily trumps Volts sales numbers, which is a very positive thing. the Cruze profits can help defray the Volts' development costs and less the financial loss to GM on each Volt sale.

And the Volt has helped get people into the dealers where they end up buying a Cruze.

 

Which leads to the dealers' dilemma: how do we move our bloated Volt inventory?

I like the Cruze a lot and did a few test drives in them. They have a nice euro-style to them and are nicely packaged. However, the Cruze diesel is a real clatterbox. They did a fairly good job with sound insulation, but the moment you open the window it is quite a racket, especially on acceleration.

We finally ended up getting the Volt. With the $5k drop in price and some negotiating, we were down to $33.5K before the tax credit for a nicely equipped car. So far it has been a blast to drive. I love silent running and it handles very well. In 2 months we are still on 3/4 of the 2nd tank of gas. The first one was used for a trip up north.

 

Can't blame the people.
