Is the Cruze going to be in the same class as the Fiesta? It looks a LOT bigger (Focus territory).

Eventually, Ford is going to make a 1.0L 3-banger EcoBoost available. The engine already exists, just not available for sale yet.
I agree that the Cruze is Focus class. The Fiesta would be more likely to compete with the Chevy "Beat now called the Spark", assuming that car makes it to the USA.
