Stop talking, until you know what you're talking about. The Cobalt Sedan has 145hp. The Cobalt SS Coupe is the only model with a supercharger.

Post away bro!


Haha yea you are real funny . Get a life, you obviously just want to see people bash the car for no apparent reason. Instead of just stating your opinion (like specifically what you dislike) you just post useless comments bashing the car in general. At least Goodwrench made an attempt to explain why he dislikes the car this time instead of just bashing it.

Goodwrench - I have to give you credit this time for at least explaining yourself. I agree that the Opel looks like a very nice car, rumor is that it might be imported as a Saturn. However, I don't see the any distinct advantage that the Opel offers over the Cobalt - Styling is of course subjective. Power output is slightly more, but there are rumors that the Cobalt SS might be bumped up to about 240HP for the 2.0 S/C within a couple years anyway.

Overall the only difference I see is that the Opel has different styling and is Turbo instead of S/C. Besides that I'm sure that they have very similar underpinnings, so I don't see how you could like one so much more than the other, unless its just a styling preference.


Your brand loyalty disgusts me. Have you been brain washed by the General himself?

Its the amount the tire can take before a car looses grip and its measured in lateral Gs. The test runs the car in circles (2-300ft circle) until the car breaks loose. Then the Gs is measured to see what level the tires it held up.

It is not out yet.


What do you mean it's not out yet? Let me post the article for you.

I was reading it on the toilet last night. To me, it seems that Car & Driver loved the car, I don't know how you see it otherwise, but anyways, you guys can be the judge of that:

^^^"Not out" as in online
If you read what I worte I said:
Quote:

The first thing I said was, what a night and day difference in writing to the Ion that was tested in the past. Wonder if GM was on their backs on this one. LOL Especially when they say the seats share a trait with a Porche roflol and the dash does not have a spongy feel as a Lexus, like it was a bad thing?


If you remember that article you would know what I meant.

I thought you meant "not out" as in on shelves. Was wondering what you meant by that. But still, it seems Car & Driver likes the car more than you do. Opinions?

See if I wouldn't have read the C&D article myself I would have assumed they bashed the Cobalt judging by Mr. Goodwrench's post. See, just spreading propaganda lol. I'm glad to finally see a positive review for a Chevrolet, it's been a while, especially in this section of the market.
