2011 Chevrolet Cruise Release Date: Cruze hits the European market in March 2009, and should be on sale in the United States during the summer of 2010.
The price: As noted, the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze is likely to be priced and equipped above comparable Cobalt models, but it's unclear what the differences will be, given today's fast-changing sales picture and the bumpy economy. My guess is that the Cruze will start near $15,500, perhaps a little less, and top out at around $21,000. As usual with new-model intros, Chevrolet probably won't announce final pricing until just before sales begin.
