In all fairness to the Astra, I think the 2-door hatch is the sharpest looking, non-sports small car in GM's current N.A. stable.

Well, you'd certainly have a strong point if GM was planning on producing the Cruze in Europe for export here. The Astra, as I edited above, does not compete well in pricing with its bigger brother, the Aura (or with other small cars), and because of it, my sister now has one in her driveway. The Euro/Dollar situation is just too harsh.
Thankfully the word is that Lordstown will be manufacturing the Cruze, and that they have a model stashed away in secret there.
