Chevy Cobalt

CARNIGG · #1 06-19-2005, 02:17 PM

I dont know what happened. Chevy put a lot of thought into this car, in the interior only it seems. It's gotta be one of the best interiors I've ever seen in a Chevy. From what I read in Car&Driver....this is Chevy last try at competing in the small car segment with the Civic..Focus...ect. So my question is this...why make the exterior on the 4 door bland as hell...i mean BLAND AS HELL. The coupe looks somewhat better. If it had an exterior to compliment that beautiful interior then maybe I would see more than 1 a week. And Im in San Diego, when a new car comes out...people jump on them If ANYONE from GM is lookin at this "re-style the cobalt!!!"....it'll do a whole lot better. If need be, go to the to the design team of the new G6. Now thats a goodlookin car!!!

Looks like they're trying to put to much Cadillac styling into it. It's almost like a mini version of the CTS.

Dude....that's the picture in his sig...it has nothing to do w/ the thread....that IS a CTS.

IMO Cobalt looks a hell of a lot better than the G6, G6 looks like a Neon w/ a Grand Prix front bumper. I don't think anyone from Chevy would care to listen to an internet forum, but you keep trying. Also, screw the exterior, wtf is up w/ the supercharged vehicles that run 15's? that's garbage, they should have at least broken in to mid-14's for the public.

The Cobalt looks retarded in my opinion and I can careless for anything made by Chevy or GM. They tried to make the front look like an RSX and the rear look like a Skyline, WTF?!?!

[sarcasm_on]Yeah because you know the competitors aren't bland at all. The Civic just makes my blood rush, the Neon, oh man that car is so stylish, it makes a washing machine look terrible, the Ford Focus, damn I think I'm going to have a heart attack..... They all are so stylish I don't know what to do. [Sarcasm_off]

the Cobalt is another peice of GM crap. they were trying to capitalize on the sucess of the Civic, Neon, etc. but its just too damn boring. its like a copy of all of their other cars. i dont know what those guys are thinking at GM but they need to get some people in there who know how to style cars. i mean come on. i dont want a boring car that looks like everything else and runs like crap on top of that, plus i get no service.

As I said above, the competition doesn't look to exciting. The Cobalt is not a warmed over Cavalier as said above, if you think that, you haven't done much research on this car. The Engine, very reliable engine that has been modified to produce outrageous amounts of HP without many major modifications, and ran reliably at these numbers. The engine is a very solid engine. I've seen these engines with 250,000 plus miles on them....

so they made the engine last longer... so fucking what (pseudo metallica lyric)

still a warmed over cavalier

on a side note, im trying to figure out how the cobalt ss's twin, the ion redline, can weigh more even though it has plastic body panels. i guess extra body stiffeners but im not sure.

Someone get this guy a clue...... or buy him a better computer to do research on, it's not that hard to find. How about heading over to GMinsidenews.com and browsing around.

Or you could always just explain to him that the delta-platform is completely different from the J-Body platform. Two totally different cars.

Hell, GM doesn't even have a cavalier replacement, they have two. The Cavalier covered the entry-level compact prior to 06. Now that has been split into value-compact and sport-compact filled with the aveo and cobalt, respectively.

And before you go complaining that it's a warmed over cavalier again, remember that none of the problems from the cavy exist in the cobalt. Refined interior, no wind noise...and for god's sake the dash doesn't rattle. On the down side, the damn engine bay is basically SCULPTED around the ecotec, which kinds shoots motor swaps out the window.

Thank you, I apologize for snapping on in the last post, it's just that I explain this so many times....

ok well ill read more on it but i went to chevy's website and read all they had to say and i couldnt come to any other conclusion than what i stated above. btw i know how good the motor is because there are 2 in pro FWD drag racing running 8s and 9s(the cobalt and lisa kubo's saturn)
