Two new Chevrolet Cruze variants have been unveiled at the New York motor show: the Eco and the RS.
Tech from the Eco model and the sporty RS package could be sold in the UK, according to a Chevrolet UK spokesman.

The Chevrolet Cruze Eco is powered by a 138bhp 1.4-litre four-cylinder engine with 148lb ft of torque. The motor is linked to a six-speed manual gearbox, and the car averages 48mpg on the motorway.
The Eco also gets tweaks such as grille shutters that close at speed to reduce drag, and underbody panels.
The RS package adds fog-lights, a rear spoiler, chrome detailing on the interior and a backlit instrument panel.

Re: Chevy Cruze Eco and RS models
Well, for proper off-roading, a Disco or a Rangey is actually better than a Defender, would you believe. Also, the i800 is a horrible thing which just says you've given up on life, whereas the Suburban (which I have spent time in, though not driven) is distinctive. I'd also dispute your claim that it lacks character. Admittedly, the Surburban in question had been equipped with a Duramax diesel V8, to which had been attached a custom twin-turbo setup, but it did go like stink, it went everywhere (including almost up to the windows in mud, and through heavy snow) and, for a big car, the economy wasn't bad (25mpg cruising) - it also had European-spec exhaust filtration, so the emissions wouldn't have been horrendous. It also had big, soft, comfortable seats and loads of space. The Toyota Sienna is FWD-only and isn't sold in the UK/Europe - same goes for the Honda Odyssey.
