Curitiba – It has been the sweetest possible start of the 2010 WTCC season for Chevrolet: a triple win in race 1, another podium in race 2 and six finishes in the points in total have put the team in the lead of the Manufacturers’ standings, while Yvan Muller tops, together with Tarquini, the Drivers’ ranking.
Race 1 in a rain-soaked track in Curitiba was a Chevrolet show, with the three Cruzes of Yvan Muller, Rob Huff and Alain Menu dominating from the start and signing an impressive triple victory. In race 2, despite the reversed grid, the Cruzes were again able to repeat a trio, this time in 3rd, 4th and 5th positions, with a different order: Menu, Muller and Huff, respectively.
Curitiba marked a great team achievement, with the Cruze impressing both for its performance level and its reliability. The team is leaving Brazil as leader in both championships, a position which is both the best reward for the hard work done by the entire team and a wonderful start to 2010.
Buyers of Chevrolet’s new Spark urban supermini, available from only £6,945 on-the-road, can now choose from a range of personalised graphics, or ‘Tags’, that further emphasise the model’s youthful and stylish appeal.
The first shipment of Chevrolet’s all-new city car, the Spark, has arrived in the UK ahead of the nationwide retailer launch.
Every so often, a car comes along that challenges conventional thinking. A car that offers much more than you’d expect for the money, redefines style, takes normal practice and turns it on its head.
The World Car Awards announced that Chevrolet Cruze is a finalist for the prestigious World Car of the Year Award, and the Camaro is a finalist for the World Car Design of the Year award. The winners will be announced at the New York International Auto Show on Thursday, April 1. 
It already has a reputation for providing class-leading levels of style, safety and luxury at an affordable price, and now buyers of Chevrolet’s top-of-the-range Cruze 2.0 VCDi LT can take advantage of an automatic gearbox to further add to the car’s upmarket appeal.
The winter testing programme of Chevrolet Racing ahead of the 2010 World Touring Car Championship, which will start in Curitiba in six weeks from now, brought the Cruze and the team to the Circuito do Algarve this week. Portugal this time offered a wide array of track conditions during the two-day session on Wednesday and Thursday, as the rain was on and off during the first day and the track was humid on the morning of the second day before the sunshine dried the surface for the final half-day of activity.
Modern, stylish and surprisingly affordable are already words that have been used to describe the Chevrolet Cruze, and now those very same attributes are being transferred to the race track in a new one-make race series, announced at the Autosport Show at the NEC in Birmingham.
