Take away the Cruze chrome door handles and what your left with is another bland generic plain foreign looking sedan that will blend right in with everything else.
Sorry buddy but I have to disagree with you there. I'm pretty sure that even the base or Chevy Cruze LT will look a lot better than the Chevy Cobalt from an exterior design stand point. I don't see why your only taking notice of the Cruze's door handles in the picture I posted some time ago. Don't be surprised if the upper end models come with chrome trimmed door handles. In no way does the new Cruze look bland or generic. While it does share or should I say borrow some styling cues from BMW, or Lexus, the design is straight GM with some styling flairs from the competition. The Cobalt in comparison while decent looks bland and generic. When you look at the Cobalt's exterior, there is nothing but dull or stale design that came from GM of yesterdays. The new Cruze is a totally new direction for GM in the small car segment and one that's shaping up nicely.
