The Cruze is a different beast compared to the Lacetti. I am also lead to believe that it is not running the same engine as it's predecessor. More like a proper S2000 engine as oppossed to the Super Tourer engine used last season...
As for McDowell, when he tested for Airwaves BMW at the end of last year he was as quick as Collard and Adam around Brands.
