Cavalier...no more???

apparently chevy is goin to stop producing the cavalier after the '05 model. it is gonna be replace by a delta body car named 'colbalt'. saturn ions were the first to use the delta body. it's rumored that there will even be a SS model of this new car, w/ a supercharge producing 220 hp. i would like to see this replacment for the cavi...sad to see it go, but it may be a change for the good...

colbalt will be produced in 2005. 2004 will be the last production model with the cavalier name affixed to it.

Are they doing any major changes to the Cav? It seems for the most part they are just changing the name.

They will not be making antmore cavs as of now. They have killed the jbody platform. The cobalt is on the delta platform.

the whole car seems to have gotten an update.the interior looks like you will have a leather option. Hey, they have to do something with all the mad cows. the only engine that is currently available in a cavalier is the 2.2 ecotec engine. With the change over to the colbalt model, you will now have three different engines to chose from. One will be the 2.2 ecotec. The second will be a 2.4 ecotec. and the one i wish i had waited for will be a v-6. other than that I think the car looks like an impala, crossed with a bit of acura rsx and a bit of the old cavalier thrown in but thats just my thoughts.

No v6, srry. Its a 2.0l S/c Ecotec I4.

the new model is very remeniscent of the cavalier(much in the same way as a '05 stang is of the '67 Pony but only on the surface) in looking at the angled view, but the rear end is a bit Acura-ish. Only way to say 4 sure is to wait for the real thing

04_CaV!! · #13 01-02-2004, 06:38 AM

my bad ECOT3C. your correct no v-6 but admit it a 2.0 supercharged engine will feel like a v-6. LOL ...

Three spirited ECOTEC engine choices: 2.2L, 2.4L or 2.0L Supercharged

EC0T3C · #14 01-02-2004, 11:17 PM

Boy do i wish there was a v6 tho.
