If you’ve considered buying a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze, this news will apply to you. For the 2012 model year, GM has cut the price tag of the Cruze’s optional navigation system, which will come with a touch screen interface and improved screen resolution compared to the unit in the 2011 model, to a mere $995.
So, how was GM able to bring the price of the navigation system down while improving it? By swapping the 10-gig hard drive-based system for one using SD storage. Unfortunately, a side effect of the switch results in the discontinuation of the ability to pause/record live radio.
The new nav option will be available on any 2012 Cruze 2LT, LTZ and Eco due out later this month.

That IS good news!
Now… if they would just offer the same type of optional navigation system for the Sonic LTZ…
