Chevy Cruze Bumblebee

When you think Bumblebee, you think a small creature that you don't want near you on a summer day. Or, if you're a little geekier like us, you think giant Autobot that transforms into one of the coolest cars on the road today. In either case, the colors yellow and black come to mind, which is what makes the Chevrolet Cruze "Bumblebee" odd upon first sight. Like drinking milk out of a sports bottle, you just don’t expect what you get. However, what you do get here is quite a different and welcome take on the new Chevy Cruze, which is set to debut in the US next year.

This "Bumblebee" doesn't have an inkling of yellow on its body but it doesn't seem to matter here. The Bumblebee Cruze is done up quite nicely in our opinion with orange accents all over its black exterior which seems to flow well along the Cruze's sharp body lines. Irmscher, the tuning house behind the Chevy Cruze Bumblebee, made this a strictly cosmetic exercise with no real performance benefits sans the 1.2-inch drop the bee received. Nevertheless, this Cruze seems to pull off the performance look with style.

The Chevy Cruze Bumblebee will be on the floor of the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show on September 15-27 so there's some time before we'll know what the rest of the world thinks of this tuning effort. However, below are some pictures of the Chevy Cruze Bumblebee so you can tell us what you think right now.
