Chevrolet Cruze
The Chevrolet Cruze is Chevy’s answer to the Civic and/or the Corolla. A small entry level car that can do anything a car has to. It is cheap, reliable, and relatively gas-efficient. It is not marked at the top of its class, but that does not make it any less of an option, it is still a great looking car. The 2015 Chevrolet Cruze, will take one last lap with the old body, before their new look arrives at some point after 2016.
Apparently, this year the Chevy has gone on 2 directions. In China, they have a car made by and for Chinese workers, that looks nothing like the 2015 model everywhere else in the world. Their version is not quite as angular. In that sense, it looks more like the Cruze’s Japanese competition. The 2016 coming to the US …show more content…

It seems GM has bet all their money on the infotainment system market. Currently they have MyLink, that paired with OnStar is pretty solid in its own right. MyLink is just as good as the all the other ‘eh’ infotainment systems, and OnStar is the greatest anti-theft system on a car outside of Kitt, together they are pretty hard to beat. Add to that they are also working on their very own AppShop specifically for MyLink, and that is pretty daunting package for competitors.
On top of their own in-house infotainment systems they bought the rights for two more. Buyers of 2016 GM models, will have the option to choose between Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. One reason they went with both instead of going exclusive with one or the other for more money, could be to take good qualities of both systems and integrate them with their own MyLink System without having to pay licensing fees for Bluetooth connection or smartphone integration. Even if that long-shot is true, by 2016 every major phone operating system will be accommodated by
