it looks like the front grill is like the one on the drifter concept, or like the new Malibu...i like that look

Looks like a Chrysler Product

they wouldnt do such a thing to the cobalt...

has a little Acura TL look to it

they wouldnt do such a thing to the cobalt...

actualy thats a saturn..

Hmm... I dont know, it might not look half bad with a bigger set of wheels on it. Always hard to tell when its all taped up and has crap all over it

BOOOOOOOO!!!!

I hope gm decides to trash that one and build one that PEOPLE WILL BUY....

God why?! It's like the Ford Focus!

Im betting the 2010 SS Turbo Coupe will look hot...

That looks like hell. It looks so much like an Accord. Why GM? Why? The coupe better look 100x better

ghey

Mini Malibu

actualy thats a saturn..

so they just stuck the chevy emblem on the front grille for shits and giggles right?

or overgrown aveo

You think they will add projectors with HID's in the 2010 Balt? I'd so buy one if they did.

looks like a small malibu to me...the new boo's

HIDs in a econo box.

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Yeah and a factory jet engine on the back too :lol::lol::lol:

To me the 4 dr cobalt they have now is probably the worst looking 4 dr sedan on the road right now. This is a major improvement for chevy. 2010 though seems a little too soon to be planning that far ahead.

i dont see why HID shouldnt be in compact car class, mazda 3 has it as an option for 2 years now

doubt that'll be the 2010 cobalt

http://jalopnik.com/388160/2010-chevrolet-cobalt--spiedTry this link better

"of what we assume to be the 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt" read the bold if no one read that properly..its speculation..who knows maybe a new car .a mini malibu

I wanna see the rear

ITS UGLY AS FUCK! i got to this using the links, Still not sure if its it though

Wow....

That looks like smashed buttocks.

Anyone notice a similarity between the two? Look at the hood and headlights... Hummm looks like the Chevy Cobalt and Sabb 9-3 have more than a common drivetrain in their futures...

go ahead and make them ugly!

yea.... no.... no GM car is gonna come with stock alteza's.... thats not the cobalt
the chevy equinox does

and ill wait to see the full car to say something about it

I dont like it!

dear god I hope not...

Other than typical sheet metal subtleties, look at the B pillar, the front door/front fender transition and the rear door/quarter panel transition, that Balt has 9-3 written all over it...

Hahahahahaahahahahahaah

GM never does anything people want... People wanted a retro GTO... what happend, they went with a new body style and the GTO died 3rd year in production

Great its fucking ugly...

Same deal with the '09 Camaro, I know several people that are itching for a retro '09 T/A but they have no plans to build one... Meanwhile they have a sacrilege with a Cadillac emblem rolling on the Vette platform... Dumb, simply dumb...

actually they are bringing the camaro to look just like the concept... a dealer back in michigan (by my parents house) has already been authorized by GM to take orders and the first one goes in production february 12th 2009 and hits the show room floor april 21st 2009. My dad gave me his spot in line at the dealer and i placed an order for a victory red 6.0l LS2 w/ black racing stripes

looks like a kia or hyudai

if that the cobalt for 2010.....Ghey.

The current Cobalt sedan is the ugliest car on the road by far. Anything is an improvement.

WTF???

I just read that they killed plans for a Firebird or GTO return for at least the next two years...

2009-2010 FIREBIRD AND GTO FATE CONFIRMED (http://blogs.highperformancepontiac.com/6229231/pontiac-news/2009-2010-firebird-and-gto-fate-confirmed/index.html) < February 13 2008

yes, the death of the GTO and firebird is true, but that is not the fate of the camaro... depending on how well the retro camaro sells will determine if they bring back the GTO or firebird

:wtf:

nah i'm not feeling it...it looks like a honda or an acura

honda or an acura

Which are the same anyway. :lol:

true

ah, whats it matter, by 2010 I'm going to be Buying a Volt. (hell I'll have to by then at the current rate of change for gas prices)

I hope they change some of the car a bit before they put that out. Looks more like an ion now, but just my thought :(

Moved to what appears to be a new forum section?

:wtf: :confused:

:wtf:

No, it didn't die 3 years into production. They just stopped making the car it was based off of in Australia where the GTO was made so they had no car to produce until the G8/Commodore came out. And the GTOs twin, the Monaro, was in production since 2001 so it was time to retire that body style. AWESOME car......retro body style can suck my nut on the GTO, because I don't care what they call it but those Holden are bad ass cars!

Here's to hoping Pontiac delivers with that new RWD sport compact they've been grumbling about for the last few years.

Market it as a 1-series fighter, RWD, 2.0L DI Turbo, they might have a hit on their hands.

As for the future Cobalt, i will withhold judgement until final pictures are released. I'm really hoping it bares more resemblance to the Malibu than what those shots of the Nubria let on, because if they don't, I'm afraid they missed the target.

love the volt....NICE CAR...:twothumbs

Looks almost like a boxier Camry :thumbsdow

I second that. I always looked at the HHR as our best looking sedan.

That's the Daewoo Nubira. NOT THE 2010 COBALT!

toyota sign on the center cap of the wheel...

That's the Daewoo Nubira. NOT THE 2010 COBALT!

I hope you are right!!

Either way its fuckin ugly.

So let me get this straight. When people drive car around town with whacky bracing systems and duct tape all over them they are really driving prototype cars? And to think all this time I just thought it was red-necks doing their own bodywork to keep panels from falling off :wtf:

I love how so many people are quick to bash the look of this thing based on spy shots of a base model sedan... Take a look at the base model sedan of the current Cobalt. I don't know about most of you, but I would not concider that a "fancy" looking car by any means.

Wait until we start seeing spy shots of test mules for the SS trim of this new balt before you start bashing it so hard.

Not :)

CRAP. That looks like a Focus But-Rape a cobalt.

everyone seems to hate it but i think it looks a hell of a lot better than the 4 door we have now. i cant wait to see what the coupe looks like, maybe my next car.

Hey just noticed your name...do you own a 2000 Firehawk...cuz I did...Silver with that special spoiler that only came out for 6 months...so you have one...*waiting with bated breath*

God Thats Fugly
It Looks Like An 2008 Accord/focus/malibu..i Don't Like It..i Hope The Ss Version Looks Better

I'm liking the next sedan design better than the current one, and hopefully the coupe won't be as dumpy looking as the Focus coupe.

Hey I don't think thats a future Cobalt man. That car is being developed by DaeWoo(GM bought it 10yrs ago) and the car has a code name of J3000 or whatever (but for sure its J series) which is covering Lacetti (Optra in Canada ) line up. that car is ugly Ive seen a more detailed pic and don't worry it wont be our future Cobalt. I don't even know why MT wrote an article sayin thats a cobalt.

source: My uncle is a distric manager of Daewoo in Korea lol

That's funny. From another article I read in Motor Trend, I was under the impression we weren't to see an all-new Cobalt until 2013 or so. According to the same article, the Cobalt was inline to receive a significant facelift/redesign in 2009-2010 using the current platform, but not a clean sheet from the ground up. If true however, this indeed is good news, because by the time of the launch of the new car, the current platform will be five years old and due for an upgrade.

Here was the article:

"The Chevy Cobalt gets a moderate facelift by mid-2009 for the 2010 model year, and a 1.4 liter turbo engine for tightened CAFE purposes about the same time. The turbo will be based on an existing engine used in Europe. An all-new compact Chevy will replace the current Cobalt for the 2013 model year."

Pretty confusing, huh? Perhaps they're rushing the new small car architechture to market to combat the high gas prices, kind of how they rushed the GMT900 trucks to market to capitalize on their suffering bottom line two years ago.

Damn, that thing just looks bloated. I thought the Cobalt was a sport-compact, not a midsize luxury. That car looks as long and wide as the new Camaro!! That's got to be something different. I sure hope the coupe is about a foot shorter and 3-6 inches skinnier. And if they lowered the roofline, I wouldn't complain either. I think they should get rid of that curvy roof, and insert a fastback style. :D

I refuse to believe that's a Cobalt!!

daewoo?

I think I just died a little inside....

Yeah, I know. It's part of the entire GMDAT conglomerate that GM uses to build most of it's small cars in Asia. But they will now be using them to build a lot more global small cars in an effort to globalize engineering and development costs across the board. It makes a lot of sense, and you gotta admit, the Koreans have come a long way in terms of build quality and product in the past decade, so I wouldn't sweat it too much. It's irking to know that you may not be driving something completely homegrown, but in the end it should make GM a stronger company.

u guys think the sedans ugly, well i kinda think the coupe is. OPINION* it looks like the cavalier from mirrors back from the side, not too tasteful to me. as far as this new car, yuck.

Am I the only one that sees shades of Mazda3 in the side profile?

I, like many in this thread, find it hilarious at how much people are freaking out over spy shots over a fully camouflaged test car. That's the equivalent of getting all hot and bothered by the sight of a woman's bare ankle. As far as we know, the final design may not even be locked in yet. Take the latest Corolla for instance. It went for a last minute re-design because Toyota felt that the first version looked to staid compared to the just then released current gen Civic. But regardless, GM won't want to make the base model sedan too racy, because it will be the volume seller and shouldn't scare away any buyers with edgy styling. They'll leave the flair for the SS coupe and sedans when they launch.

It does lood like a ford fuck-ass in the front...

#1. You may have placed a deposit with the dealer, but not an order with GM. GM doesn't accept actual orders until the cars are in the system.

#2. The Camaro will not have an LS2. The LS2 is out of production. The V8 available at introduction will likely be the LS3.

#3. Colors haven't been officially announced yet, though Victory Red is certainly a possibility.

And to not totally get OT on the thread, I'd guess with some certainty those pictures are the next Cobalt.

PWND!!

I dont like it also. but i think the current coupe cobalt is great. maybe a few updates in the front and corvette taill lights ( all four light up).


Y dont all you photoshop experts and people with free time come up with what the new perfect cobalt should look like according to you, instead of complaining about this camouflaged car that may not even be a final version.
