    The other thread got me digging for Coupe pics. Not sure if my finds are photoshop, prototype, euro-spec or what ever:

    The hatch looks decent, the only one that I would buy. Although I don't like how the angle of the hatch cuts out cargo space, the roof should be longer and less of an angle on the rear window.

    I always felt a hatch should have a lot of angle to it, sort of like a fast back. Most 70's and 80's hatches were like this. Having it squared off in the back (like the Sonic) creates a very short wagon, but not a proper shooting brake or sedan delivery.

    Probably photochops. There's rumors swirling about of a Cruze coupe, but nothing firm as of right now.

    3 door hatch would be cool and so would the coupe.

    Kind of reminds me of the EG Civic era.

    But there is a legit 4 door hatch, I might actually buy a Cruze 4dr hatch with the 1.4T and a six speed... Too bad the cool stuff never comes here...

    The 3-door hatch & 5-door reminds me of these:

    I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think the sedan looks better.

    Much like BMW won't bring over the prettiest of the 1ers (the 2 door hatch) I doubt we will see a two door hatchback cruze

    This. If they built this, I would be all over it like stink on poop.

    In reply to Nitroracer:

    The Cruze was engineered by the same partnership that produced the Astra H. The Cruze is essentially an updated Astra tailored to the US market.

    Some nicely styled cars there, EXCEPT.... I really can't stand their grilles. Teminal blandness.

    Check out all the different C pillar treatments. Quite a variety. I like the indoor red car with the CTS coupe C-pillar and pillarless glass.

    The dark red one under the Eiffel Tower looks like a Hyundai. Not that this is a bad thing these days.
