No wonder GM’s national dealer council is investing $1 million in GM, the automaker has an interesting vehicle onslaught on the horizon (okay maybe we’re giving the General too much credit). The guys at AutoObserver have posted these pics of the upcoming Chevrolet Cruze, CTS Wagon, the Buick sedan based on the Invicta, Saab 9-4X and Cadillac SRX.

As we learned earlier the global Chevrolet Cruze will replace the Cobalt in 2010. We like what we see and we also like what hear as vice chairman Bob Lutz earlier confirmed the Cruze will average a fuel-economy of more than 40mpg . Could there be a hybrid version in works? Only time will tell.

Earlier today, GM confirmed that the Cadillac CTS coupe and CTS wagon will go into production at its Lansing Grand River plant in the first half of 2009. A diesel variant of the CTS wagon will be made exclusively for the European market.

Lutz has also confirmed a production version of the Buick Invicta concept that will arrive in selected markets earlier next year. The Invicta is expected to be Buicks next flagship sedan.

Saab’s 9-4X will share the same platform as the next-generation Cadillac SRX which will be based on the Cadillac Provoq. Rumor has it that both models will be offered with 4-cylinder engines.

Let us know what you think of pictures in the comments section below.

I can't think of a single friend, co-worker, or neighbor who will buy a Cadillac Sportwagon. Recently, I met an 84 uear -old woman in our local Kroger parking lot. She caught my eye because she was driving a blue Honda Civic with a temporary license plate. I helped her load her groceries into the Civic. She bought her first car, a Chevy, in 1949, owned Chevies all these years. Her last Chevy, a Malibu, had multiple problems her dealer could or would not repair.She bought a Civic because of its reputation as a quality car. GM will need more than the Cruse and a Cadillac wagon to save them.

Kudos to GM for putting out nice designs. I read an article about Ed Welburn U.S. Head of Design) where he said that the CTS coupe would not have been approved for production based on GM's old design standards for sightlines, etc. To me it sounds, and now looks, like they are making great strides in design and working outside of their own box of old standards.

Am i the only one who thinks the Cruze looks lik ean extended Photo to make it look bigger than it actually is, the spy shots all looked like a more compact car.
Like it though and hope they do a Pontiac G4 version!!!

Bobmarley

no your not the only one. The spy shots did look very different, not as good looking as these photo renderings or whatever these small pics are?

Neil

The mor ei look I am certain they have messed with the aspect ratio to the cars look bigger!!!!

Bobmarley

they all look pretty good. Im curious as to how their going to average 40 mpg's with the cruze? And is their actually a demand for the CTS sportwagon, it reminds me of the dodge magnum (which i think is getting the axe?) even though i do like wagons, I dont know if this is going to sell?

Also, are they all goin to come with those low profile tires and rims? Base models can kill the image of a car even if the SS model looks really nice... it will still be considerd a "rental car" = lame... etc.

Neil

Oh you know we will all be renting a cruze 3 years from now!

If they run a 4-cyl 1.4 litre (euro spec engine) maybe hybrid then 40 should be easy but average across a range od engines, not likely

I don't believe the Cruze will really get 40mpg, but it looks very nice anyway. The Buick looks nice, but I can't help but wonder how the next "flagship" will fair after being priced too high and equiped most likely with the 3.8L V-6 pushrod as standard equipment, forcing buyers to spend alot to get a decent engine.

Please just go ahead!!! Murder Saab and Buick please!!!

Why waste the effort? Seriously.. Not that these are two great looking cars--but they have no soul left..

Screw that, Buick might end up having to save GM, albeit with chinese models. And Saab is very good. It is just floundering under GM. GM should maybe sell it, but kill it, no way.
