Chevrolet Cruze (Spy)

riflessivi ?

Arriverà nel 2010 e sarà basata sulla piattaforma DELTA 2 (quella usata pure per la saab 9-3 secondo il media economico tedesco the Handelsblatt ?), inoltre avrà numerose componenti in comune con la futura daewoo lacetti.

Ho unito i topic, ora c'è da valutare il nome, nel caso modifichiam il titolo appena arrivano news certe

è la Nubira...

dopo leftlane pure motor trend ripropone le medesime foto, probabilmente la cobalt e la daewoo nubira/lacetti saranno dei cloni,aggiungendo degli altri particolari.

Under the camo is Chevy's all new Cobalt sedan, scheduled to debut as a 2010 model. Codenamed GMX071, the next-gen Cobalt will begin production at GM's Lordstown plant in July or August of next year. A coupe version will also be available.

These pix reveal a contemporary new design direction for the Cobalt. The now-familiar two-tier Chevy grille dominates the front end, and the bodyside is delineated by a sharp boneline rising to the rear below a twisting concave surface that hints of current BMW 5-series. The trunk is well hidden, but the logical extension of the bodyside treatment suggests a raised central section and mild shoulders over rear wheel openings.

But what's more important is what's under the skin: The new Cobalt is one of the first cars to come off GM's new global compact vehicle architecture, which will also underpin the next gen Saturn Astra and the Chevy Volt. More than just new hardware, the global compact vehicle architecture represents a new approach to product development for GM.

The global compact vehicle architecture will replace five GM small car architectures worldwide by 2014, generating huge cost savings in materials and product development. One of the key attributes of the architecture is its high degree of dimensional flexibility, which allows GM to build vehicles as diverse as coupes and crossovers on the same assembly lines using many of the same parts.

Not only will the global compact vehicle architecture enable GM to get more products to market more rapidly -- company insiders hint more than 30 new models will be launched worldwide off the architecture in just four years -- but it allows easier sharing of powertrains and other advanced technologies.

Which is good news for GM. With gas prices continuing to rise and the subsequent boom in small car sales, the Cobalt is likely to be even more of a major player in the U.S. market than originally planned. GM now has the ability to rapidly expand the Cobalt range to include hatchbacks and crossovers if customers demand, and easily install diesel engines and other gas-saving technologies such as electric power steering

a ottobre al salone di parigi verrà presentata la piattaforma DELTA II su cui verranno realizzate la saab 9-1, un ennesima generazione di astra, le daewoo- chevrolet in questione (Chevrolet sedan to replace the Daewoo-sourced Lacetti and Cobalt)

I fari anteriori: Ma siamo sicuri che non si poteva fare di meglio?

[simonepietro]

aggiungo sempre da leftlane.

The primary engineering and development will come from GMDAT — General Motor’s Korean partner (although there will still be a strong input from the North American and European planning groups). The next Cobalt will share many components as well as styling features with the next Daewoo Lacetti, including a large portion of sheetmetal.

Obviously Chevrolet’s Cobalt and the Daewoo Lacetti will not be 100% identical, as each will have different styling cues on the front and rear clips, headlamps and taillights, although these prototypes do appear to have a grille that strongly resembles the new Malibu and upcoming Transverse.

Chevrolet will also offer another version for markets outside of the United States, know as the Optra. In addition to these, there will likely be up to 15 different cars for GM’s global markets based on this new “Global Delta” architecture.

Codenamed GMX071, the next Cobalt will begin production in July or August of 2009 at the Lordstown plant. The coupe and sedan will carry the same name, but the coupe is expected to carry a sportier look with a turbo option.

Confermo il giudizio negativo sui fari posteriori

Mmm dev'essere questa l'auto camuffata che gira a Bari in zona policlinico...

La prossima volta se riesco faccio qualche foto, anche se è sempre mooolto più camuffata di questa
