I think the model origin should be Australia: /vehicle.php?id=343486#Comment908788 |

I thought this is South Korean sourced ![]() http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Cruze#Chevrolet_Cruze |

For the sedan, yes. But here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Cruze#Development it says that the hatchback was designed by Holden in Australia. |

Wikipedia says that Cruzes for European markets are made in South Korea. |

At the very end of the "Development" section: "Holden in Australia were responsible for the design and development of the hatchback body variant". Here's another article about it: Link to "www.caradvice.com.au" They're probably still built in Korea for the European market, though, but most of the development work for the body seems to have been done in Australia. -- Last edit: 2011-03-29 22:01:12 |

These newer compact GM models are quite problematic regarding their country of origin. Another example is the Brazilian Chevrolet Vectra C sedan. It's based on the German-developed Opel Astra H hatchback, but the sedan was designed in Brazil, and later the Brazilian-sourced sedan design was brought over to Europe and built in Poland as the Opel Astra H sedan version. Still, both the Chevrolet Vectra C sedan and the Opel Astra H sedan are listed with "Model origin: Germany" on IMCDb. I'm not quite sure how the origin should be determined anymore... ![]() -- Last edit: 2011-03-29 22:18:52 |

As these vehicles are globally designed and it is getting harder and harder to pin down the sourced designed ![]() |
