Chevy's next generation star car has arrived at Valley dealerships

Virginia DelBene loves her Chevrolet Cruze.

She currently drives a 2013 Cruze and is holding off on getting the new 2015 Cruze because she’s waiting for the next-generation model when it debuts.

“I am really happy. I plan on getting another one here [at Greenwood Chevrolet],” the 63-year-old Austintown resident said. “It’s made up the street, so why wouldn’t I? Keep our people working.”

On Sept. 26, the Lordstown-built Chevrolet Cruze 2015 models were shipped to dealers. Right here in the Cruze capital of America,

Mahoning Valley’s Chevy dealers either already have the 2015 Cruze in stock or they know the cars are in transit.

Either way, the dealers know their star car is going to sell.

“I think we already sold one or two [2015 Cruzes],” said Nick Amendola, new-car sales manager at Greenwood Chevrolet in Austintown. “[Customers] like the technology. They like the gas mileage. They like the style.”

The new Cruze comes with an exclusive technological enhancement: 4G LTE with Wi-Fi available.

Amendola explained this technology works with OnStar, and a customer receives three gigabytes for free. Up to seven

devices can be used at once with the new car technology.
