The issue of American engineering for the Cruze hardly came up. In the modern era, GM seems to source its electronics in China, its major systems in Europe, and its brainpower in Korea. It�s smart business � TTAC readers know about China�s market and the limitless potential there � but for those of us who wanted an all-American small car to draw a line in the sand, there�s only disappointment.The rest of you can buy a Cruze with a clear conscience. It�s built here, it�s feature-packed, it doesn�t lag behind the competition, and it�s likely to be a reliable, decent vehicle. That�s all this segment asks for. Anything else can be dismissed as the worthless dream of a wandering dreamer like myself, a pair of ragged claws scuttling across the floor of silent seas, wishing for the day that General Motors shows us a great American small car.

The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze is a good car, although at least part of its goodness comes from the fact that it isn�t really that small. It�s well-positioned against the Civic and Corolla. I believe that it beats both of those cars in significant, measurable ways. You are looking at the Cruze�s not-so-secret weapon: an interior that represents a Cloverfield-sized leap past the competition. It�s part Cadillac CTS, part Buick LaCrosse, part Chevrolet Malibu, and unmistakably GM in the way the exterior does not quite manage to be. Forget the Civic or Corolla. From the touchable dash panels to the big, comfy seats, the Cruze is fitted-out to compare directly with Accords and Maximas. The interior is spacious.
