Is this new Cruze supposed to blow us away?

Or is it just one last hurrah of the current one? No idea.

The old one was better. For some reason, the front end gives me vibes of a Daewoo. I might just have to Shop that.

Not only is the "revised" (term used very loosely) facia awful, but it looks like it was transposed from another car; it doesn't match the rest of the car whatsoever.

Just a very forced design change that didn't need changing in the first place.

Someone needs to school GM on "cohesive design" pronto.

It blows? That might just be the feature to make it stand out.

Am I the only one that thinks its odd that first shot was in Austin of all places?

No idea, they were going to take some shots in California, stopped in Texas for some steak, got lazy and decided to take the shots there, or something.

How can that car be so new and look so dated already?

It was unimaginative. But it's not about the looks more about what is underneath.

There's a good reason for that. Daewoo (now GM Korea) had the lead design leadership for the Cruze. It wouldn't surprise me if they were in charge of the facelift, too.

I woudln't be surprised either. Daewoo is probably behind it is my best guess also.

It reminds me of the 2000-07 butter face Silverados.

Seriously now, you're not losing anything. Europe is full of compacts like that.

The more I look at it, the more it grows on me. Just like the Malibu, Tahoe, and Camaro.
