The Chevrolet Cruze entered the World Touring Car Championship in 2009. [108]
The car has proved successful since its entry, with Yvan Muller winning the 2010 championship and the 2011 championship placing first, second and third. The race version uses a 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline engine developing 230 kilowatts (310 PS) and 335 newton metres (247 lb·ft) of torque. Yvan Muller, Alain Menu and Robert Huff drive for Chevrolet and sit 1st, 2nd and 4th in the 2012 championship. Also won 2010 british touring car championship and 3rd 2011 with 2.0ltr naturally aspirated model.

Drive a Cruze and then an Octavia and you will see you are full of $hit (unless you only view a car as a way to get from a to b at minimum cost in which case, why not give the Cherry a plug?). The Cruze is undeniably a great buy for amount of gear included but the Focus is the best drive in that market segment and the Golf/Octavia close behind.

Touring cars have all sorts of changes vs the road going version so you've bought into a marketing exercise.

Why am I feeding a troll?
