In India by: 2009

Will cost: Rs 12-15 lakh

GM's flagship sedan, the Optra started off with a bang, but sales declined steadily with only the diesel Optra Magnum doing decent numbers. To fix that GM is all set to debut the Cruze.

While the Optra highlighted its Korean roots on the design front, the Cruze looks like an all American muscle. The interiors on the concept looked extremely futuristic and we expect much of it to be carried over to the production version. For the Indian market the Cruze will be offering two engine options. A 1.8 litre petrol and a 2 litre diesel. A price range between 12-15 lakh brings it bang in Civic-Corolla territory. From the looks of it, GM definitely has a winner on its hands.
