The reasons for the discontinuation of the Cruze are as follows: 1. The Cruze had an awkward positioning. Currently, General Motors has three major brands in the domestic family car market: Cadillac, Buick, and Chevrolet. Cadillac represents a high-end luxury brand, while Buick and Chevrolet are ordinary brands. To avoid brand conflict, GM positioned Buick slightly higher, while Chevrolet was positioned lower. 2. The Cruze lost the charm of its older models. Since the first-generation facelift, consumers have no longer been impressed by the new design. 3. The popularity of the Cavalier. The Cavalier differs by only one character in its name from the Cruze, and its design positioning is somewhat similar to the classic version of the older Cruze, attracting many potential consumers who once favored the classic older Cruze.

Is the Carbon Deposit Cleaner Added to the Fuel Tank Effective?

Adding carbon deposit cleaner to the fuel tank is effective. The methods for cleaning carbon deposits are as follows: 1. Additive Cleaning (Fuel Additive): Additive cleaning involves directly adding the cleaner to the fuel tank to mix with the fuel. When the vehicle is started, the cleaner will enter the combustion chamber along with the fuel, and during this process, it will clean the carbon deposits inside the engine to a certain extent. 2. Drip Bottle Cleaning: Drip bottle cleaning, also known as no-disassembly cleaning, is a cleaning method currently promoted by 4S shops. This method uses a drip bottle to introduce the cleaner into the engine's intake pipe, where it is sucked into the combustion chamber along with the intake airflow. During this process, the cleaner will clean the carbon deposits in the engine's intake tract and combustion chamber. 3. Disassembly Cleaning: Disassembly cleaning involves removing parts of the engine where carbon deposits have accumulated for cleaning. Although this method provides the best cleaning results, it is labor-intensive and time-consuming, so most 4S shops do not offer disassembly cleaning services.

Vehicle drive configurations: A vehicle's drive configuration refers to the arrangement of the engine and the number and position of the driven wheels.
