Chevrolet Cruze App Allows Owners to Connect by Remote
The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze, which goes on sale next week, will feature a Smartphone application through General Motors' OnStar that allows the owner to check the fuel gauge, lock and unlock the car, set off the horn and lights alarm and perform onboard diagnostics, such as checking tire pressure, by remote.
The Chevy Connect feature will be available at the end of September, company executives told reporters during a test drive of their new compact car in Birmingham, Mich., today.
Company executives also reported that they had received word from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency within the past 24 hours that the Chevrolet Cruze Eco version, equipped with an automatic transmission, would achieve highway mileage of the targeted 36 mpg. The Cruze Eco with a manual transmission has not been certified yet by the EPA but is targeted to achieve 40 mpg.
The Cruze Eco models go into production in December and goes on sale after the first of the year.

Thats a pretty neat app, would be even neater if they had an interior cam and mic (although I admit, that would probably freak me the hell out on a regular basis - not only would I need a double gauge tinfoil hat, but a tinfoil mask as well 
)

Heh, you can't imagine how many times that very though crossed my mind if it was either raining like crazy or I had one of those 12+ hour days where you bake in a 110 degree oven for like six hours and the rest of the day its a cool 94 or 96 degrees at work.
