Chevy Cobalt

[K2K]

What do you guys think of this new car from Chevrolet?

I was very excited to hear that Chevy might be releasing something like the new GTO, but upon further inspection, I've heard that the SS model will only have a 205 hp engine? While it is a small car, I think that 205 hp is fairly insulting to a GTO competitor and the SS name. I'm hoping that someone will whip out a 0-60 or some torque mss., but for now, I'm fairly disappointed in this vehicle. It does leave all the more room for aftermarket tuning and upgrading, though...

Anyone else heard something?

205, I have only seen 145! Big brother Vette, is BIG and should not be compared/in the same Ad.

i heard the cobalt is basically the cavalier with a few diff curves n a diff name

 

[1wykdmk8]

It basically is a Cavy a bit tweaked.....but ANYTHING is better than the last Cavy......in the Chevy line that is....... :Beer

 

[Sifrino3]

Cavalier 140 Hp
Cobalt 145 Hp
Hmmm. . .

 

[1wykdmk8]

I did not mean tweaked engine wise, I meant more the body is tweaked.....I like the bodystyle better than the last malformation.....

 

[Sifrino3]

The body is nice. But if I can remember correctly. It seemed to have tail lights like the Vette. . . Also, it looks like the Cavi is on the outs if the Cobalt does good.

 

[1wykdmk8]

It does have Corvette'ish tail lights....but they are not too bad looking......IMHO.

I agree... most of Gm's newer commercials are kind of cheezy IMO... I mean, a bunch of their cars just driving past each other doesnt quite inspire me, as a consumer, to go out and buy one lol. I used to think the same with ford too, but since they launched their "the one" campaign, they've had some awesome commercials.

I dig the "if you build it" one.... awesome

edit: back on topic, the cobalt doesnt look bad at all . I'd rock one as a daily. better than the cavalier

 

[Sifrino3]

Four circle tail lights. That is pretty damn close to the Vette's rear!

It kinda reminds you of the vette.....but the way they are set in and the overall shape of the openings are Vette'ish.......and the outer two sorta look egg shaped'ish too.....here is a better rear pic..... :N

 

[K2K]

It's like a blockier, slower and disadvantageous version of the Vette!

Eric....what the hell are you talkin about....I am not comparing it to the GTO, or the Vette....I said that the lights were Vette'ish....that is it....I would NEVER compare a souped up Cavy to a Vette.....sheesh....easy there killa!! :Beer

 

[Sifrino3]

GM is doing the comparing. Everyone who buys a Cobalt. Will think they can line up with a Vette. I would bet you on it! Also, how do you think the Vette guys are feeling. Having there beloved car compared to a compact with 145 hp! That has to hurt!

 

[1wykdmk8]

They ARE making a Cobalt SS with 205 HP....now I know that does not compare with 400 out of the box....but not bad for a compact car from the factory.... :Beer

 

[re-Markable LSC]

That thing is a wreck. An ugly little, character lacking, hunk of crap.

205 seems nice. Since the weight of the car can't be past 3500 lbs. So, it should make some good numbers. But still, we are talking about the base model against the Vette. . .

It is ugly, but its what sport compact guys like. I guess. . .
