How is it “sub-standard”? It had the legally required equipment. By definition, it met the standard.

As one of the few Jalopniks reading who has a legit claim to a Mopar equiv to Hart’s awesome Barracuda,

Welcome to America, and even worse California!

i did a dumb and got hurt and it's everyone's fault but mine!

I wonder if the Volt's failure influenced GMs decision to abandon hybrids. It would be a shame, because I also really liked the Volt.

I don’t really see how the Volt is a royal screw up in terms of it’s technical execution. If you want a plug-in hatchback it’s a great execution of one. The issues are more just people not wanting a small car and terrible marketing to automotive journalists. I remember all the awful takes from journalists when the G1…

Great question, and good point.

Agree with this guy, the Voltec system is an absolutely brilliant system installed into the wrong body. The Volt should have evolved into a CUV then the tech should have flowed into other products including light duty trucks.

Honestly, from everything I’ve ever read, the Malibu Hybrid is absolutely fantastic. It uses portions of the Voltec system (the Volt being another excellent vehicle - really what we need at this point in the game, until the infrastructure can handle the extra charging requirements of more and more electric vehicles on…

Now if someone could please explain what the rest of the car was for?

You need more stars, that looks awesome!

You know, if it wasn’t for Rental Cars, I wouldn’t know Mitsubishi was still in business....

You would have the attention of the entire Jalopnik commentariat if it were the last diesel Cruze hatchback with a manual in Pepperdust Metallic (the closest thing to brown). None, however, would be willing to have actually bought one, however.

I like the Chevy Cruze. Yeah its a toaster but its a decent little appliance. Good controls, visibility, fuel mileage, radio, seats, etc etc.... Sure its not setting the world on fire, but for the price, it did exactly what it set out to do.

And I will…

I would love to have the last Celebrity....

There are sooooo many people that would be delighted to own a new Chevy Cruz but can only afford a broken down 10 year old cobalt or civic. So maybe “No wealthy car snob has ever been delighted to own a Chevy Cruz” is more accurate.

It really has nothing to do with the car. It has more to do with where the car was built and the importance of that car and car plant to the area.

More than likely the movie was originally called Le Mans ‘66, but most Americans probably think that’s some kind of champagne, so they changed the title for us.
