Holden has just released the first images of the upcoming 2012 Cruze hatchback.
The all-new Cruze hatch is set to go into production at Holden‟s Vehicle Operations in South Australia later this year.
The hatchback variant of the Cruze was designed by Holden‟s Port Melbourne design studio and will be sold as the Holden Cruze 
in New Zealand and as a Chevrolet Cruze around the world.
It’s a modern looking machine with a sweeping coupe roofline and short overhangs. It was first shown as a concept at the Paris Motor Show followed by the Chevrolet production version which made its world premier in Geneva earlier this month.
Holden Design Director, Tony Stolfo, said Cruze hatch highlighted the breadth of skill in the Holden Design Studio.

“Holden is very proud of the global design work it does for other brands and countries around the GM world – but it’s especially gratifying to work on a new vehicle designed and built in our own back yard.” Read the rest of this entry »
