Spotted these beauties parked right next to where I live in Bangalore. Seems the Chevy guys had taken a halt for dinner. I could have missed it so easily. They looked so innocent, in white, parked next to each other. Thanks to my keen eye… I spotted the new Chevy Cruze, which is due to be release next month in September. It was  a shocker, as this car looks so strikingly similar to a Honda Civic from rear, that most people would miss spotting this. I felt awkward, but ultimately my curiosity got the best of me. “Bhaiya, ye safed gaadi kiska parked hai?” I asked the Paan waallah. He pointed to the restaurant and said “Kuch log andar aaye hain khana khane unki gaadi hai”. I couldn’t believe what I did next, but again, being an auto buff, my feet started moving towards the restro. I asked the restro owner and he told me a crew of 4 guys had come and they are having dinner.

One half told me to just foolishly barge onto their dinner table and to confirm whether this was indeed Chevy Cruze or not. But thank god for my parents had put some decency in me. I went outside and began clicking away. I had just taken 4 pics when the guys finished their dinner and came out and stopped me from taking pics. I asked them candidly if I could just sit inside and feel the interiors, but as expected the guys were either very rude or very tight lipped, they didn’t let me. On pestering them they told me that both of them were Diesel versions. One with a manual gearbox and other with an automatic. The expected price was somewhere around 15-17 lakhs. They said this was positioned to take on Skoda Laura, Honda Civic and Honda Accord. I asked them that was Chevy planning to exit the Optra, but they said no. On asking when was Chevy planning to come out with their small car, they said it would be late next year.

I had one more look at the damsels and continued my way back.
