I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

I think that sucks. Chevy had the cav. Nice looking car before they stopped making it. Here comes the cobalt. Seems like a rebadged cav. Nice body style/spec options. THink there were three differn't styles they offered. hasn't been on the market that long and now they are getting rid of it ? Did the cobalt bombed?? Was it a failed car by chevy?? Were sales that bad or something ?

I wasn't all that impressed with the interior of the Cobalt but as a rental car they weren't bad for what they were. One of the guys I autocrossed with had the top model Cobalt and he enjoyed it and the interior was still ... mmm it just missed the mark for me.

I wonder what the interior will look like on this one. Hopefully not cheap looking.

The interior on the Cav looked good.

The saloon style Cobalt was fugly. They should just stick with the coupe.
