I had a '94 Z28 for 7 years and it was unbelievably sturdy. I had 1 repair in the entire time I owned it. Chevy has done alright by me in terms of reliability. That being said, the only Chevy I would own at this point would be a C6 Corvette. I personally think the Cobalt looks absolutely hideous and FWD is lame.

I dont really care if it beats STi or Evo. I dont have one anyway.

the fact is that Chevy is not a good brand. plus Cobalt SS is nothing but some FWD Econbox modded up with SS from factory. Thats the fact. no matter how much you and ur family love them.

so tell me, if Chevy is really AS GOOD as you claim it to be, why are they still going for bankruptcy (GM) ? As of this time, they're still operating at a loss, in fact, HUGE loss.

I also wonder where you got ur Ford ownz Mazda thing from? out of your ???

Bottom line man I wasn't trying to start **** with you online that's not my deal. I'm just saying I've been around Chevy's all my life and never had a problem out of them... To each their own... They are operating at a huge loss and I know that I personally believe that the new Camaro will help that situation. I was told that Ford owned Mazda when I bought the car.. Either way I dont't care... I love the car I have and I don't care who makes it doesn't have an effect on me...

Competition is always a good thing. Trust me I dont want to see any of the big boys to go under.

The new Camaro looks good ... if they can really deliver their promises, then it might be a good way to "shine" their brand.

but with GM's management history ... I hope Im wrong.

It cracks me up seeing some of you fanbois getting butt hurt over a Chevy. And Rotory owners talking about reliability Please remind me which car Mazda recalled for not putting out the performance numbers they claimed it to have.

If it was Nissan/Honda/Toyota/BMW/insert foreign car company/ that posted the same lap time with that car with their emblem on it, you guys would be praising it to the high heavens. But because it's a GM car, it automatically fails.

I've been on the Subaru Imprezza forums, and they are more angry towards Subaru for making a failure of a car than GM.

And for those of you that mentioned lap times not being a deciding factor when it comes to purchasing a car, I'm willing to bet that you are the same people that tout the laptimes of your particular car when you compare it to others to justify your purchase.

Looks are opinionated. And I see a TON of good looking girls driving Cobalts. Might just be my area though. And I don't know of many girls that are impressed with 4-door cars that don't have BMW/MB/Audi/Lexus written on it.

Oh, the Honda Civic Mugen RR [not the Mugen Si being sold here] is faster then a S2000 around a track. I bet that fwd econobox is a peice of **** too right? How about the Civic and Integra Type-R's? They are just hopped up fwd econoboxes.

Jeremy Clarkson [the most famous anti-american car personality out there] said himself that he recommends the Stig buy a Cadillac CTS-V.

And I wouldn't have to pay $20k to get my transmission replaced on a Cobalt.

Chevy is so good that no one even cared.

I dont know what your dog have been telling you, but Rotary has been pretty reliable except for 13B-REW and thats the thing that totally ruin the 20-30 yrs of Rotary reputation, Warren Buffet said it takes 20+ years to build reputation, and 5 minutes to ruin it. Thats very true. but since u're so smart Im sure you dont know what that means.

Oh wait, Im sure u do, since Chevy is still a piece of **** in most people's eyes.

Mugen RR is nothing but Mugen parts pre-installed from factory. why dont you try to throw a set of Mugen stuff on a S2K and see what happens ? Take a bone stock Civic with nothing on it and see ?

20 K to replace what? another dumbass point made by a dumbass.

Think before you speak. not out of your ***

there are some really ignorant people

the cobalt ss is a faster, stronger, better handling car than any other car in its class so why not give its props .... "oh its an american car" who gives a ****.... american cars are just like any other cars as long as you take car of them they will take care of you .... before i bought my 8 i had 2 american cars a plymouth and a COBALT and neither of them gave me any major problems and my plymouth had 180000 miles on the same clutch and 5 people learned how to drive standard on it

so dont tell me that the cobalt isnt up to snuff with the EVO, STI,the S2000 and stop being ignorant by saying that just because its a chevy you hate it

You can love Chevy, so why can't people hate them ?

Just because you love it and everybody gotta love it?

Just because the car never gave you any problem does that mean it never had any problem?

how smart ~~~

the fact is, people will look at Evo, STi, and S2000, but when a cobalt shows up, people will be like ewwww ...... ****.

Sorry, thats the fact and will never change, no matter how much u love ur Chevy.

FWIW, Mazda was about to go bankrupt too when Ford saved its butt. Does that mean Mazda cars sucked at the time?

maybe

but Cobalt is nowhere near that level.

You might be the type of person who can stand spending 20-30K to look like a cheap ***.

Sorry, not me.

Mazda did suck at that time.

Most of their cars were nothing but some totally PoS.

and ur point ?

Ford suck at that time too, its just that their market share has not been taken away by Toyota that much "yet", thats why they had the money to buy Mazda's shares.

The Evo guys too. Nobody with an VIII or IX likes that fat pig of a ***** called the Evo X.

if you want to talk about value, I think a Kia has the most Value.

because afterall, a car should be used for taking you from point A to point B. so why would anybody wanna spend 20-30 even couple hundred thousand bux for a Ferrari when we just wanna get from point A to B ?

by the way, cobalt SS starting at 24 K.
