Canada sunsetted cellular 2G CDMA technology in 2015. GM Canada 🇨🇦 figured out how to retain OnStar functionality in affected vehicles without using a dongle that plugs into the ODB-II port, which is GM USA 🇺🇸 solution. A dongle that plugs into the ODB-II port is unacceptable to me.

  1. Totalled 2023-01-26. Damn it! I loved the retro styling and with the rear seats down, it had enough cargo capacity for our household of two and two Beagles. We took a week-long trip to Florida with three Beagles. We had to “tetris-pack”, but it worked. ↩

  2. 2014 Chevrolet Cruze will be sold. Cruz is on its fourth turbocharger (counting the one installed at the factory). ↩

  3. 2014 Chevrolet Cruze was totalled 2022-11-22. It will be replaced with a non-turbocharged car or SUV. ↩
