Chevrolet shows it's serious about Cruze Eco

Chevrolet Cruze Forum - Chevrolet has a lot more than the Volt.

The electric car with a gasoline-fueled generator -- scheduled to arrive at the end of 2010 -- holds the automotive record for the longest launch in history. But the Volt will not have nearly the immediate impact on the environment or Chevrolet's bottom line as the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze will.

And, after a first drive of the car's different powertrains, it looks like the people at Chevy are just as serious about this compact as they are about the Volt.

Last week I was given a chance to do a few laps in the engineering models of the Cruze. These are the cars that are close to what consumers will see when the Cruze arrives in September. But these cars have more than a few nicks and scratches on them and some of the interior pieces are missing or mixed together -- one test vehicle had both an LT2 and LTZ center stack.

Typically, carmakers avoid putting journalists in these vehicles. It's considered bad luck; the same philosophy of not letting the groom see the bride before the ceremony on their wedding day.

But General Motors Co. is changing and there are only about four people in America who haven't seen the Volt, so why not let journalists see the Cruze?
