In spending too much time and paying too much attention to find any changes on the 2015 Cadillac ATS prototypes spied by Carscoops reader Patrick Harmon at a hotel near the Denver International Airport, I completely missed the gem hiding in plain sight right next to one of the coupes: an undisguised 2016 Chevrolet Cruze!

I may have missed it, but not our readers, who spotted the silver-colored car and notified us in the comments.

The car was cropped in the photos, so I can’t say with certainty if it’s the Chinese- (introduced this April at the Beijing auto show) or North American-market version of the compact sedan that GM says will be different (but most likely, not so different…) when it comes our way towards the end of 2015 or early 2016.

Shout out to our readers for the tip, and to Patrick Harmon for the pics!
