im happy there is competition, dodge caliber, ms3, cobalt/hhr ss. lets the aftermarket bloom some more.

cobalts don't look too bad to me. the headlights, grill, and tail lights still are huge, plasticy remnants of the typical fisher price chevy look. those need to go. or at least offer some black housing headlights that don't look so pukey. i haven't seen much of the interior, but the last time i saw it, it was still eh. at least its above quality when compared to the caliber.

^ and whoever drove those MS3's in that article sucks. MS3s with real drivers can touch 13.9 to 14.1.

the cobalt ss set some nurburgring record too, but they did it on a closed course and had some constants that are not usually available to the competition.

either way, any of these new fwd turbo cars can take some breathing mods and a little boost raising and they get pretty mean. i dont follow the other crowds much, in MS3 land, we're making some good strides with simple bolt ons, the MS3 is severely underrated and very restrictive.
