Lamborghini recently announced that they will recall 428 units of the Murcielago Coupe and Roadster as indicated by fuel leakage problems.

Review: Chevrolet Cruze

April 11th, 2010 by Cars Centre

First saw the looks of Chevrolet Cruze, one can immediately guess, this is the typical of American sedan. Yes, General Motors managed to maintain it at its new sedan, the Chevrolet Cruze, though not born on American land.

Cruze was born in Korea have a line that looks are not rigid, thanks to a large grill-rise, which is slicked up with the ‘bow tie’ logo latest design from General Motors.

Chevy Cruze

Cruze from the looks alone, managed to arouse the curiosity to taste it. Do not need much consideration, the door opened and we can see Chevrolet Cruze cabin space.

Seemed to be a racer, that’s the impression could catch before we drive the Cruze. With a racing-style steering wheel and cruise control behind the wheel to the left makes you ready for action with the Cruze.

Racing sensation can also be seen from the speedometer display, fuel indicator is equipped with a list of chrome on the sides.Glancing into the middle dashboard centered design formed a V on the center console, really presents a challenge to drive. Starting from the Meter cluster with Translucent Ring with Chrome Top, Ice Blue Illumination cohesive, clearly provides a pleasant outlook, including Driver Information Display is able to convey information to the driver.

Chevy Cruze Interior

So, rest assured, you will not want to give the driver’s seat to someone else, because the Chevrolet Cruze has to invite you to drive it yourself, feel it yourself!

Engine started, a quick glance at GM’s transmission lever-Tiptronik 6 speed. Imagine how the performance of the 1.8-liter DOHC Ecotec engine Double Continuous Variable Cam Phaser (DCVCP).

Delta II platform, is capable of producing power reaches 141 dk at 6200 rpm and 176 nm torque at 3800 rpm, at least hoping to compensate for this big body middle sedan from Chevrolet.

Step on the gas pedal, acceleration was smooth, almost without a jolt. So also when I started sliding on the highway. Although push the gas pedal a bit in, but the transmission can reduce power jolt of Cruze. Therefore, not felt figures on the speedometer was showing 160 km per hour.

Although, unfortunately, the position of D on the transmission is only good for constantly acceleration, not the acceleration in the extreme. Because if you press the gas pedal more strong, feel the beat when the transmission move at 3500 rpm.

However, once the transmission lever moved to the 6-speed GM-Tiptronik, then feel if this Chevrolet sedan can be invited to a little racing, because it supported by a rigid suspension.

Chevrolet Cruze control, even in high-speed spelled comfortable. Extreme maneuvers, even if not to create the body get rid. Although the risk is felt when we moving slowly, suspension of Chevrolet Cruze feel to be a little hard.

Chevrolet Cruze also has features that are complete for the sedan class. When the rain for example, no need to worry, because the wiper will function automatically with the rain sensor.

Cruise control likewise, can save stamina when driving. Also with some features like Automatic headlamp with Tunnel Detection and Follow Me Home and Welcome Light.

Not to mention Cruze-based audio systems and computerized machine controller connected to the CPU and the transmission of so-called GM LAN. Thus, the gas pedal is pressed, the more increased the volume, adjust the requirements in the cabin.

This is what makes Cruze suitable as an alternative option in the middle of a flood of Japanese sedans class.

Video: Chevy Cruze Eco at New York Auto Show 2010

April 2nd, 2010 by Cars Centre

For the past week, we’ve been hearing all about the latest iteration of the Chevrolet Cruze, the 40-mpg Eco model. While the name is rather uninspired (Eco’s the best they got?), the technology that allows the Cruze Eco to hit that lofty number is anything but. Here’s the really interesting part: Chevy is claiming that fully 70% of Cruzes will feature the 1.4-liter variable-valve timing turbo I-4, including the Eco model. But wait a moment, how does the Cruze Eco achieve such lofty mileage with the same engine (same power, too 138 horsepower @4,900 rpm, 148 pound-feet of torque @1,850 rpm)? Keep reading.

Starting with the front of the Eco, there’s a new, wind tunnel-massaged front fascia complete with a class-first “Aero Shutter.” Take a look at the air inlet area below the grill. During low speed driving (say stop and start city type stuff) the aero shutter is open. However, at higher speeds when cooling the turbocharged engine isn’t as much of an issue, the shutter shuts, allowing air to more efficiently stream around the vehicle.

There’s also a slim lower chin spoiler and “tire blockers,” which we typically call spats. Moving on to the rear, there’s a new fascia back there that’s also been wind tunnel tested for more slippery-ness. Surface area is further decreased by lowering the car by 10 mm compared to other Cruzes. There’s a full-body underpanel to keep air from getting hung up on stuff like the exhaust and suspension components, as well as ultra low rolling resistance tires shared with the Volt. Finally, there’s an ultra-tall 6th gear (the Cruze Eco is manual-only) that allows the rpms to greatly drop when the vehicle is at cruising speed.

As you may imagine, Chevy has also done its very best to reduce mass as much as possible, going to far as to shave welds down by a millimeter. But here’s the thing: while working on the body in white, Chevy discovered that the mass-saving measures they made to the Eco could easily be applied to other Cruze models, which means that the not-quite-yet-on sale Cruze will have across the board improved mileage. Nice, no? The Chevy Cruze should go on sale in the 3rd quarter of 2010 with the Eco (probably) making it out of the gate by the 4th quarter of this year.

As far as the seemingly random “not a stripper” fragment in the title goes, Chevrolet has made the decision not to totally decontent the Eco. According to Chevy, people’s tastes are changing (ya think?) and they want high mileage vehicles to have lots of creature comforts. For instance, the Eco ships with 17-inch forged aluminum wheels. Nice.

Here’s the skinny: The Cruze RS is an appearance package for Chevy buyers who want a Cruze with a higher level of panache. That out of the way, the RS sports sexier front and rear fascias along with more aggressive rocker panels. Don’t forget the pretty OK-looking fog lamps. There’s a slick rear spoiler, too. We’re also pretty smitten with the big, aluminum wheels that are slathered in some impressive rubber 235/40/19 to be specific. That’s pretty large. Inside features a blacked out interior with leather seats and fabric dash materials.

The Cruze RS get’s the same 1.4-liter VVT turbo as the Cruse Eco (as well as 70% of all Cruzes, so says Chevy) and should be coming on line just after the regular Cruze (finally) arrives in the third quarter of this year to eventually replace the aging Cobalt.
