This new car seems to uplift the car market. I have heard very good reviews about the car. I have got to know the price of this car. I think this car will compete with the Volkswagen Jetta and Honda Civic.

The next generation Optra that is Cruze would come packed with whole set of amazing features and even the look is going to be slightly modified. This car will be rolled out by 2010.
