Official - Chevrolet Cruze/(Optra?)

It's official finally, good that it looked exactly the same as those rendered images GM released officially earlier on, bad that it still looks quirky with designs that does not carry function whatsoever. The sudden sharpening of the front lamps, and the sudden bulbous rear lamps just doesn't cut it, thou it does look rather 'sculpted' in the world of bland and boring entry level global cars (Think Vios). This is the all important 'available everywhere' money making machine GM hopes that'll give in a good fight with the juggernaut Toyota and Hyundai. However based on the time line where it was first rumored, spied, rendered and released, it's about the same time Toyota was able to come out of another 3000 variations of their 'parts bin' collect and assemble models. To counter Toyota's onslaught, they have to know how to manufacture vehicles that are fundamentally same, yet perceiving-ly very different.

Hit the jump to check out on the rear.
