But the Cobalt is just so uuuuuugggglllllyyyyy. Great performer in the new model though...I'll have to watch for one so I can test it.

I'd have to agree. Regardless of the numbers, the performance, and the speed - it's still a Chevy and the only Chevy I'd buy is a Camaro (Any generation) - BumbleBee anyone? :D I've only owned one Chevy in my 18 driving years ('81 S-10) and I almost bought another ('93 Cavalier Z-34) but after driving it, I couldn't bring myself to do it. I'd consider driving the SS, but I'd never own it. All I've owned are foreign Cars (just traded in my '02 RSX Type-S on my '06 MS6) and the overall 'feel' of the foreign cars (the way the doors shut, the way the interior feels, looks, etc, the way it drives) the domestic cars just can't keep up imho. It shows through the pics with the cheap-looking interior.

Yes it definitely does show. Both my mom and my grandmother own GM products (Pontiac G6 and Saturn Vue) and I wouldn't own either. The overall feel of the majority of their products is very cheap...almost like a Kia. You know build quality is bad when after only 10,000 miles you can hear the doors / seals creaking while driving! Which is sad, because I think GM has the right idea concerning the future of American cars. If only they could up their build quality.

Oh, I dunno... I'd have no problem owning a Corvette... 'sepcially a new one (if I didn't have to lay out the cashola).

Well, yeah. There is that - it's a shame but I spaced the 'Vette. :) Thanks for the reminder. heh
