Re: rank the cobalt

I dont like it, and im pretty sure we will be seeing it around for so long it will seem out of place. Kinda like the current Cav, the base model is out of date and most are sick of them.

Re: rank the cobalt

The only GM I would own is a vette, T/A or SS maro even then I dont even like the looks of the camaro.

GM has poor build quality and I just dont like any of their car's. A damn escalade is a high priced Taho with caddy badges.

Re: rank the cobalt

That's cool if you don't like any of their cars, but the build quality has been steadily on the rise and it's good enough that I'd buy it one without hesitation, and I own a Camry.

i work as a valet as part time when i go to school and i can tell you that even though GM's quality is indeed goin up, it is still garbage. the escalade has one of hte worst interiors i've ever seen for a truck that price. the whole dash is made of one piece of thin hard plastic. you knock on it and it feels like a giant model kit. the new Malibu still has cheap materials however the design of the knobs and such is not dating back from 20 years anymore. the chrysler stuff is okay but too many parts are shared, and Ford is the worst out of them all.

Re: rank the cobalt

I would rather have a ford than any GM or chrysler car.

I used to work at a bodyshop for GM and we would have brand new cavaliers that came in for a broken tail lights that had running problems/noises/a bunch of shit

GM is crap.

Re: rank the cobalt

I currently drive GM...and would say GM is crap. Parts that fall apart, weird mechanical things. I also find it funny that when installing my headunit/subs I felt I could take the whole car apart with 3-5 screws, like building with legos.
Dont get me wrong though, Ill take a TA, Camaro, GTO, or Vette anyday...infact a LingenVette tops my want list.

Re: rank the cobalt

The Cobalt SS to me is Chevy trying to compete with Dodge's SRT-4, however they seem to be trying to win customers by offering a different look, not by outperforming Dodge.

It's a decent looking car, it doesn't really interest me though.

Re: rank the cobalt

yes chevy is trying to compete with the SRT4 and the Scion TC. They are trying to make it fast and attractive at the same time. I will prolly buy a cobalt SS when im done with my cavy. as for Gm being crap?? What no way. Ill admit the interiors do need a little work and flare, but they are extremly reliable cars IMO.

Re: rank the cobalt

Re: rank the cobalt

well i don't drive one,but i don'tdrive a honda either... i'd rather push a ford than drive a chevy... hah ... reminded me of an old bumper sticker..

but still, the older fords last forever... the newer ones of most cars suck these days... its true on alot of gm cars that when you take them apart it's alot more simple than it used to be, that's only because it's more cheaply made... i do body work (now that i've started on my j30, i decided to open my horizons to other cars) and i've had alot more requests for chevy and honda than i've had for anything else... basically you get what you pay for.

now i'm not saying that i wouldn't take a chevy or gm model car... i just wouldn't buy one.

Re: rank the cobalt

Chevy seems to have upped their standards on interior, but I have to say Pontiac has improved 10x more. I'm looking at their new lineup, the Bonneville, G6, and Grand Prix look really good.

Just because you think the Cavilier is crap doesnt mean the whole GM lineup is crap.
