IMO this may be the first GM car in a long time where the win is the interior.
It is a roomy car that is well thought out and the materials are top notch.
I think the main competitor will be the Corolla followed by the Korean Kia/Hyundai (same company so lump them how you see fit). And it blows them away from what I've seen.
The photos don't show all the optional content. I've seen some that look even better than these press photos.
Your points on the engines are well taken, but CAFE rules now and throwing a bigger 4 cylinder just doesn't work. Need high volumes of 35 to 40 mpg cars to average out the Camaro SSs. And the 40 mpg Cruze might just be the ticket. This will be a quiet, comfortable, economical choice. If you want more performance, Chevrolet would be happy to sell you a V6 Malibu or even a nice Camaro.
