GM announced they will pour over $500 million into the manufacturing of a small car called the Chevrolet Cruze. The car will get better than 40 mpg. GM will start building the vehicle in 2010. A post on Jalopnik has more photos of the GM's new small car.
The Cruze will be launched in Europe and Asia Pacific next year and will also be manufactured in those regions.
"Our goal for the Chevrolet Cruze is to lead in fuel economy in this very competitive car segment," Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner said in a statement.
The Cruze, expected to top 40 mpg, is yet another example of GM's commitment to shaking up its product portfolio as drivers shun the big trucks and SUVs.
