I was more excited about Road America being the track they used than the guy talking about either car. I love that track, my dad used to take me to races there when I was younger.

I will have to get out there someday soon and see some races along with doing the lunchtime laps so I can track my car after more suspension and performance mods are done.

Lunchtimes laps...**** you can spend an entire day doing laps if you hook up with the right group. I'll have to let you know when/if I ever head out there this year.

i have to agree with the other comments. the presenter seemed a little out of place in that video. i'm not gonna put the guy down because frankly there could have been factors that i do not know about such as nervous, first time on camera etc.

as far as the other parts i would have liked to see footage of them giving the cars a little more gas. but thats just my take on it

i thought the review was pretty good, he should have spent more time on the cobalt instead of the hhr though.

to quote him from our local boards

"As I've always said, video adds ten pounds and subtracts 50 IQ points. Since we're a consumer-based site, I didn't go into any technical detail and it's pretty much just an overview of the cars, not really a technical or in-depth video, it was our first drive of each. Once we get them into the fleet we'll have more in-depth coverage."



doesnt seem like he can have much of an oppinion... just stating what the car has for people who have no idea.
