Pictorial tour of Chevrolet Cruze factory in China

The Chevrolet Cruze, which continues to make headlines after its debut in Paris last year is undoubtedly the most anticipated car in India in 2009. It is expected to make an appearance likely in December 2009 or early 2010 and will replace the aging Optra or might be positioned above it. It made it to its first production line in Korea last year, and sells there as the Daewoo Lacetti Premiere.

The Cruze will come in China with a 1.8 litre petrol engine is expected to replace the aging Lacetti, but as the Lacetti is under the Buick brand in China, it appears that the Cruze will stay a Chevrolet.
