Tomorrow, General Motors is expected to announce that will run three shifts at its Lordstown, Ohio assembly plant on three shifts when production of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze begins later this year. At least that's what the Wall Street Journal is reporting today.

The declaration is said to be a sign of the company's bullishness on small cars. That reasoning isn't borne out by the numbers, however, as the article also notes that the size of the small car segment has remained unchanged since last year at around 12% of total sales. It also pointed out that GM also upped production at its Texas truck plant recently to replenish short supplies of its full-size SUVs.
