If you read my post on the Cruze and the Mazda6, the press release says that it starts at "$24,945 (before a $1,550 destination charge) and will come standard with an Aero Performance Package, leather seating and the brand's MyLink infotainment system. " So at least it's got some features in there already, it's like a LTZ model.
