When mated to a six speed manual transmission (and driven conservatively), Chevy alleges the Cruze Eco will hit 40 miles per gallon on the highway.  Despite it\u2019s role as a fuel sipping commuter, Chevy has still clocked the Cruze Eco at around 9 seconds from zero to sixty &#8211; not bad for a car whose primary mission is saving money.<\/p>\n<p>The Cruze RS will feature \u201cappearance upgrades\u201d such as revised wheels and bodywork.  The interior will also be upgraded from other Cruze models (the LT and LTZ); unfortunately, the RS package doesn&#8217;t include anything to actually make the car go faster.  Rumor has it that an SS version of the Cruze is also in the works, but we won\u2019t see it this year.<\/p>\n<p>Source:  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leftlanenews.com\/\">Left Lane News<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/3-E4D_YDvOb5so3QpYMdWbnU3YY\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/3-E4D_YDvOb5so3QpYMdWbnU3YY\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/3-E4D_YDvOb5so3QpYMdWbnU3YY\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/3-E4D_YDvOb5so3QpYMdWbnU3YY\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s no secret that GM has high hopes for the soon-to-be-launched Chevrolet Cruze.
