Interesting FACT!!!

I was reading the automotive news magazine/newspaper and came across an interesting fact. Over 61% of cobalt owners under 30 years old who traded their car in bought another GM product! I think thats pretty damn good for a car thats only 2 years old!

Another thing to point out is that about 30% of those people were most likely upgrading their cobalts! (just my opinon/thought) haha

Anways, just though i would share...it shows that GM is finally making cars that keep customers coming back! Way to Go GM! keep it up!

Well I'm 23 and trading in my camaro for a SS/SC so I guess that holds true.

This will be my 4th Chevrolet vehicle out of 5 cars so far.

1. Beater 88 Ford Taurus. Engine block actually cracked with 117,xxx miles on it.

2. 1999 z24 black was t-boned by a woman in a camry that ran a red light.

3. 1999 z24 red traded in for camaro

4. 2001 Camaro SS 54,xxx miles has treated me great and I will miss her but I had to have a Cobalt for some reason they are just so sexy to me.

I am 44 and all of my cars have been GM except 2. Bought a 2001 Chrysler Sebring and the motor blew on me with just 62K miles, absolutely no more Chrysler/Dodge products. Also bought a 90 Mustang GT about 5 years ago, love the car, gave it to my son 2 years ago. Bought a 2005 GMC Envoy for my wife last summer and me a 2005 Cobalt LT. I gave the Cobalt to my daughter and now I am going to buy a 2007 SS/SC in a couple of months. Loved the Cobalt but it just did not have enough power so I figure the SS/SC should be more to my liking!

The ss s/c is my third gm car, but ironically each time i went looking for a car a gm car was not my goal. When I got my first car I wanted a honda civic but ended up with a '95 geo metro. When I got my second car I wanted an acura integra or mitsubishi eclipse but ended up with a '94 chevy camaro. When I got my 3rd car I wanted to get a scion tc but ended up with the an '06 chevy cobalt ss s/c, though I'm not complaining about that one. I just find it interesting that a gm car is what I keep ending with. They're never my goal, but they are what I end up with and I never complained about it. Except the metro, it had a killer a/c but damn was it slow
