| The '''Chevrolet Cruze''' is a [[compact car]] produced by [[General Motors]] (GM) since 2008, replacing two unrelated cars—the [[Chevrolet Cobalt]] and [[Daewoo Lacetti]]. First introduced in 2008 for the [[South Korea]]n market as the the '''Daewoo Lacetti''', this replaced the car of the same name sold since 2003. The previous generation Lacetti was sold throughout Asia, Europe and Oceania as either a [[Chevrolet]], [[GM Daewoo|Daewoo]] or a [[Holden]]. GM will replace this previous model with the new Cruze throughout 2009; using the same [[badge engineering]] strategy employed before. In North America, the Chevrolet Cobalt will be phased out and replaced by the Cruze from 2010.<ref name = "gm2008-08-21">{{cite web | url = http://media.gm.com/featured_vehicles/Chevy_Cruze.htm | title = All-new Chevrolet Cruze features dramatic design | publisher = GM Media Online | date = 2008-08-21}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | last = Spinks | first = Jez | date = [[2008-08-22]] | url = http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=56374 | title = Viva MkII!
