I drove one and was impressed. If I was buying a DIESEL, the Cruze would be number one on my list...

Ok theres couple links from pics on cruzetalk. Couldnt figure out how to post pics. sorry
Nice, I have a summit White one here. Built in August 2013. I got it just days after completion within 2 hours of coming off the truck at the dealer. Still had plastic on everything and had yet to go into service for the initial "going over".
If I recall correctly from a Cruzetalk thread, you fit the doors/mirrors primarily at Lordstown on these cars? Maybe you did mine? Whoever did, did an awesome job because it's the quietest interior of any vehicle I've ever owned. Great work, fun vehicle!

This thread is beginning to sound like STEAMING BREAD COMING OFF THE OVEN.
Amazing things to see.
I hope they make soon the Impala Diesel.

I'd like to see "DIESEL" badged at least one place on both TDIs and the diesel Cruze. I meet so many people who have no idea that cars come with diesel engines. It would be a great, free way to advertize and educate (I put side badges on my Jetta and get many comments.)

I ordered the badge that goes on the holden cruze in Austrailia. It's not a perfect solution, but acceptable to me. I might remove/relocate the factory green badge on the left this summer.

That's got me envious. The truth is that only us members of the TDIclub know what TDI stands for.
Almost every I go to fuel up I get a dum-dum telling me that I'm fueling up at the diesel pump by mistake.
I would like to see a "Diesel" badge next to our VW Model Name name plate.

^^^ that can be fun. I was fueling at a station with one diesel pump. While I was getting the additive out of the trunk, I spotted a redneck in a lifted diesel pickup giving me the evil eye. In a second he screeched up and said "what do you think you are doing parking in front of the diesel pump?"
"I'm about to fuel my car" I responded. He mumbled "that's a diesel" and roared off

That looks great. It makes you wonder why they didn't do something similar for this continent.

Thanks, It bugs me a bit the fonts aren't perfect but beggars cant be choosers! The 2.0TD badge you see on the left is pretty much unreadable from more then a couple feet away so it's kinda unless IMO.
I had a guy flag me down at a redlight wanting to know all about it one day. He wouldn't of been the wiser without the badge.
I'm kind of shocked, I've filled up a bunch at really busy stations and no-one has said a peep. Must be full of as Bob Fout put it "Frappa-mocha-latte-cellphone-text." type people
I even waiting behind someone getting gas for like 15 gas cans one day at a mixed pump and the rest of the large station empty. He seemed perplexed and then realized I was waiting for diesel and apologized. I sat there idling but it didn't click.

Well, get used to it. Trademark law usually makes evocative coined words
the go-to choice for product branding. Generic words are often unavailable
for trademark protection. Real words also carry some risk of
adverse connotations in other languages. Clearing a branding
world-wide is an expensive proposition. Starting with an invented
word narrows the effort considerably, and reduces the risk that
someone else will have already registered it.
In the case of Cruze®, it keeps Tom Cruise from suing GM.
Curiously, GM is not the only company with a registered trademark
on "cruze". The other uses, of course, are non-interfering. And you
can bet that GM has an entire division of attack lawyers intently
guarding the word.

Does anyone else find it amazing that TDI2000 is somehow now a huge Cruze advocate and supporter ?

That picture of the Cruz above makes this thread nearly impossible to read!
