Chevy Cruze (working name) will be a 40 mpg 1.4l turbocharged vehicle built on the Volt's Delta II chassis for worldwide distribution. It will replace the Cobalt in the model lineup. The engine is likely to be one of the inline 4 cyl DOHC GM "Family 0" engines made in Europe by Opel. About 15 feet/4.6 meters long and 5 passengers.
Other cars slated for the Delta II platform are the Opel Astra and FlexTreme (European Volt cousin), SAAB 9-1X and Daewoo Lacetti.
It'll be shown first at this Octobers Paris Auto Show and is due for production spring 2009 as a 2010 model ("official" 2010 model year starts in August/September 2009).
