In less than 2 years, there will be four small cars available from Chevrolet in the U.S. market.

In addition to the Chevy Aveo and the game-changing electronic Volt, Chevrolet will be introducing the Cruze, a more mature and sohpisticated replacement for the Chevy Cobalt, in 2011 in addition to the fuel-saving Spark.

“We think that we’re going to start seeing some industry growth, and that’s going to put pressure on fuel prices again…so we think that’s going to encourage consumers to continue buying small cars,” said small cars marketing director Margaret Brooks. “We’re seeing really a resurgence of small cars throughout the industry.”

The 2011 Chevy Cruze will change how people view small cars, having the roominess and add-ons that you would normally find on a more upscale mid-size car, but with the price and fuel-economy of a compact.

The longest running of the small car models for Chevrolet will also be undergoing some significant positive changes. The next generation Chevy Cobalt will be American-made, being moved to the Lake Orion, Michigan plant that was the former production facility of the Pontiac G6.

We look forward to the diversity of these models when they share the lot here at Marc Heitz Chevrolet within the next couple years.
