A brand new compact sedan made by the Chevrolet division of General Motors, designed for MY 2011. It really makes up for the shittard Chevy Cobalt, which had a crappy interior. Similar to the Cobalt, the Cruze gets 36 mpg highway, a lot like the Cobalt's 37. Originally it was also the Holden Cruze sold in Australia and Asia, but imported into the United States in 2010.

The largest brand of General Motors and one of the greatest automobile brands ever created. It is often mocked for being a low-quality brand which is a common myth associated with American cars. "Chevys" are known for producing high-powered muscle cars, dependable pickups and SUVs, and now the most fuel-efficient compact cars on the road. They are produced with the same amount of quality and effort you will find in any Toyota, Honda, or Ford.
1st guy: I just got a new Toyota Corolla! It gets 34 mpg on the highway!
2nd guy: That's great man! My Chevrolet Cruze gets 42 mpg on the highway. I just traded my Corolla for it. You know, I wanted to save money on gas and all that.

Get the Chevrolet mug.1) A two-door variant of the Suburban produced by Chevrolet starting in the 1960's and ending with the introduction of the Tahoe in the mid-1990's.
2) The name given to the Chevrolet S-10 Blazer after the introduction of the Tahoe. Produced until the mid-2000's.
S-10 Blazers and fullsize Blazers alike are referred to as "Blazers". Contrary to what many believe, the first generation Blazers were capable of running for what seemed like an eternity.
Fullsize Blazers came with the 5.7L 350 engine, which remained the base engine. Optional was a larger displacement diesel engine, primarily used with a 24 volt (as opposed to standard 12 volt) power system used in military Blazers in the 1980's.
The S-10 Blazer originally came with a TBI (throttle body injection) engine that was either a 2.8L (used in the V6 Camaro) or a 4.3L engine that was the V6 version of the well-known 5.7L 350. In 1990 with the introduction of the 4-door Blazer came the new CPI (central port injection) Vortec engine. In 1995 the Blazers were redesigned with a more rounded body, and included new MPFI (multi-port fuel injection) engines, in addition to dropping the S-10 prefix.
The first generation Blazers with the TPI 4.3L engines carried on the reputation of the 5.7L, many lasting well above 200,000 miles. However with the introduction of the 700R4 (later named 4L60) automatic transmission, many would only last to 200,000 miles, as the 3rd and 4th gear clutch packs would burn out in the transmissions. This problem was not as common to the fullsize Blazer after the introduction of the 4L60-E, however.
Additionally, problems with the heater core going out and leaking antifreeze into the floorboards were common, as well as seat frames being broken, rear window hydraulics not working, and other cosmetic problems, including the rare steering wheel breakage after one has slammed their fist into the steering wheel.
The S-10 Blazer has a reputation for holding its value. Many S-10 Blazers can be seen for sale for a few thousand dollars, even with 150,000+ miles.

The broken-down Chevrolet Blazer in my yard finally had the rear diff lock up after 300,000 miles of driving. Everything else still works, of course.

Get the Chevrolet mug.Ahhh, Chevrolet. This automaker has a history like a roller coaster.
In the 50's they made some of the most fantastic cars you could buy, with flair and flash and classic American charm. In the 60's and 70's they built some of the meanest and ferocious muscle cars. However, when the 1980's came about, car quality fell off a cliff. They were so cheap and plasticky and just plain bad. In the from 1990 to 2007, their cars were just terrible. After 2007, quality slowly got better and better. Today's Chevies are very good, they have technology and style like no other car. In a world of beige Toyotas and Hondas, Chevrolet cars stand out and provide very good deals for the money. Chevrolet LTZ cars can be picked up for $17K and have the same quality as some BMW cars. They are also supremely reliable and the highest mileage car was a Chevrolet Silverado, which had over one million miles.
