General Motors today announced a $50 million investment in its Lordstown plant to prepare for production of the third-generation Chevy Cruze.
Although there is no production date for the new model, a version was shown at the Beijing Auto Show last month.

“… and focusing it on the North American market, is something that they did in the development of the Cruze. And I think it was just buckling down and creating a really compelling small car for the U.S., and the right time when people's tastes were shifting and they were ready to receive a car like this.”
Lordstown was nearly idled in the mid-2000s before GM began investing $600 million in the plant for production of the first- and second-generation Cruze.
