The new Chevy Cobalt

I'm probably gonna get hated on for this, but I kinda like the styling of the new Chevy Cobalt. Chevrolet was actually able to put out a nice looking car (with the exception of the Corvette, of course)



The SS version has a supercharged engine that puts out 205hp. Pretty impressive for such a small car!

No, I'm not gonna sell my car for a Cobalt... it still is a Chevy afterall!

It's a friggin Cavalier with a spoiler.

The only new GM's worth looking at are the Pontiac GTO (same size as a Cavalier with a Corvette engine), and the Cadillac CTS with the Corvette engine. It's such a nice sleaper and sounds so mean.

GTO is the size of a Cavalier??? you clearly have never seen one up close then. More of between a Grand Am and Grand Prix size.
GM makes good cars IMO... not great, but good!! I'd rawk an old 70s-80s Monte Carlo on DUBZ

its not much bigger than a cavi though, the cav sedan is only 10 inches shorter in length, width is almost the same
the biggest difference is roughly the 1000 pounds in weight

I haven't seen them in person but looks ok in pics. aswell they will be offering upgrade packages just like dodge does with the SRT-4. Its nice when a manufacturer does some mild work cuz then your not voiding any warrenties.

I call BS on their power ratings, I test drove a ION REdline which is the same engine and SC setup. Man that thing did not impress me at all. The SRT-4 (which I hate BTW) was Way faster and Even a Sentra Spec-V Felt quicker. (from the butt dyno)

That's the main thing I like about it; the tail lights. Very Skyline inspired. Mind you, the Impala also has four circle tail lights and at night when I see one, it just reminds me of a bug with huge eyes.

And yes, it's the SS trim line that I like. Probably all the appearance mods about it that I like too...
