Artist drawing - Chevrolet Cruze convertible

he sedan & hatch variant of the Chevrolet Cruze have been made official by GM, a station wagon is also in the works. Now there are many more body styles that the Cruze could be offered in, in the future. One of the most probable ones is a Cruze convertible. Even before GM could do the basic design of the car, theophilus chin has beat them to it.

The general styling of theophilus chin’s Cruze convertible is the same, all the lines and creases are identical to the sedan version but the convertible gets 2 doors. The rendering looks very sleek & eye catchy and even in this form the Cruze looks a stunner. With a powerful engine and those looks, this car could bring in many walk-ins to Chevrolet dealers in America, Britain and Europe where convertibles hold a lot of relevance.

A soft-top will not justify its styling, a hard top would do the job much better. This Chevrolet Cruze convertible could very well be in the works considering how serious GM is about the Cruze.

I recently heard that the SS version of the Cruze has been cancelled. If that is the caase then if a convertible is built it would give GM a vehicle that Ford has no competition for. Let us be reminded that Ford will be offering the Focus RS in a short while. The SS would be far cheaper to produce than a convertible so I highly doubt that there is a solid argument for the convertible over the SS at this point.

Not if it is the same hard top system the G6 used GM has already spent money to develop and make it work why not use it in a new car?

I'm sorry but Ford does already make a Focus convertible in Europe. Since Ford is globalizing all models when possible, it may make its way stateside eventually.

Gotta be a soft top.
Hard top cabrios SUCK - they have no trunk space when the top is down.
