World-Beating World-Car
Welcome the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze.
Small cars have always been held in lower esteem. “They're cramped and cheap,” everyone used to say. Put those people in a Chevy Cruze, however, and you'll likely get a stunned silence instead. With a global team working on it, the Cruze is an exceptional car that's comfortable anywhere, built to high standards and filled with premium materials. Its compact dimensions make it maneuverable and economical the world over, and the Cruze logged 4,000,000 miles while under development, more than most cars and a testament to Chevrolet's commitment to leading the segment with the 2011 Cruze.

The King Is Dead. Long Live the Queen.
The 2011 Buick Regal is a royal pain to the Audi A4.
The luxury sedan segment is a tough nut to crack, particularly when it comes to competing with well-established industry stalwarts like the Audi A4. Buick’s recent introduction, however, looks to permanently dispel the notion that classic luxury needs to be imported; from the looks of the 2011 Regal, classic luxury is dead, and modern luxury is poised to assume the throne.
