I'm hoping for a hatch version.
I rented a gas-engined Cruze back in March. Drove it around Kiawah Island in SC then up to Cary, NC. I called it the torque-less wonder. But it really wasn't terrible for what it is.
It needs firmer shocks, wider wheels and performance tires. Maybe fatter rear sway bars, especially in back. But I was actually surprised to find it fairly comfy. I liked it a lot better than the Malibu I rented in Oregon last July. I think it got about 35 mpg overall. With a diesel it could be a pretty nice small car, and with a hatch like the Volt has it would be pretty sweet and very useful. A turbo diesel would be even nicer.
