The Chevy Cruze (wait for it) is available as a diesel manual hatchback with brown (Pepperdust Metallic) paint and “performance brakes”. I think we’ve missed the boat on this. Time for the Oppo Safari Cruze for the ultimate in safari shark jumping.

Just because something on paper sounds cool doesn’t make it cool.
Nobody wants a Cruze, and nobody wants to offroad s good damn Cruze after paying the ridiculously high sticker price for what you get.

Because the shifter sucks butt. So light and devoid of feel I had to stare at my right arm to make sure I was actually moving it between gears.

I had no idea, I just worked the auto show too. With a diesel I would look at it if I were needing a car for commuting.
Oh everyone says it sucks, that’s why..

Well, in my case I live in a Chevrolet free zone....in fact a GM free zone now.

Because- as these comments demonstrate- internet car people are a bunch of bullshitters who claim they’ll buy something, then when they get it come up with a bunch of convenient excuses why they won’t actually buy it.
The real reason is usually “I can’t afford a new car but don’t want to admit it.”

I have no money. If I did have that money I would probably spend that money on a manual Mazda 6. A diesel Cruze is a maybe. Also that is a horrible color you should get Kinetic Blue Metallic. (Green is the best color not brown, and as brown goes that gold dust is aweful.)

At $26k there are several better manual-hatchback options:
Civic Sport/Ex
Mazda3 S Grand Touring
VW GTI S

And if you are a car guy with a new car budget, you’re probably spending it on a 27 year old price of crap. Like me.

Who’s paying sticker on a domestic?

I can confirm this. The only cars I’ve that weren’t total pieces of shit were Fords, Hondas, and a Nissan.
I got my GTI after it had 72k on the clock when I got it, so the jury’s still out.

Because no one wants a beige Vauxhall Astra diesel.
