I dont think the picture of that fugly white car is 2010 Cobalt.
its called J300 and that is the replacement for Lacetti(Optra in Canada, dont know in US)
and J seriese won't disturb any Cobalt line up.

J300 is being developed from the company called Daewoo(Epica, Optra, Aveo, Wave is already done by that company) in S.Korea thats why on the picture the car has Korean temporary license plate.

It will get one of the 1.6/1.8/2.0 L N/A gas. engine (In N American market only 2.0 avail) and also 2.0WGT engine is avail (Diesel) and for the transmission, it will possibly have 6 speed auto trans.(dont have any info on manual) and I really dont think cobalt will have that kind of engine line up


It will have small steering wheel shaped like civic, Y shaped dashboard, monitor that will display vehicle info. and a button start too lol
It will have hatchback version too

I dont know why MT introduced it as a future Cobalt considering they are pretty accurate.



source: my uncle works for GM Daewoo and I saw it at least 3mth ago

I also have interior pic but can not post =(




anyways I hope this helps to all !!

 

you better find a way to put up those pics...any links to those pics?

 

DETROIT -- We now know that the "leaked" United Auto Workers contract document that lays out General Motors' plant strategy for the next five years was filled with vague and perhaps intentionally misleading information. For example, GM's Hamtramck, Michigan, factory will build the "Global Delta Volt" in 2010, a year after it begins a Delta-platform MPV and two years before it begins building the Epsilon II next-generation Malibu. But if the Chevy Volt does, indeed, slip because of problems with emerging battery technology, the MPV might provide enough volume to keep Hamtramck's lights on. Similarly, it lists a new C7 Corvette for Bowling Green, Kentucky, in the '13 model year, but that car's timing is continuing to slip.
Blame GM's huge effort to globalize its platforms by the end of that five-year plan and Department of Transportation's recently released Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards for 2011-'15. Those proposed standards have made GM's small-car strategy all the more important. And confusing. So here's an update to Mike Connor's spy shot story from last week on the 2010 Chevy Cobalt.

First, it looks like the Cobalt and plug-in hybrid Volt won't be on the same platform. Cobalt will move to the Daewoo-developed Gamma front-drive, small-car platform. The UAW document indicates the Lordstown, Ohio, factory that currently builds Cobalt and Pontiac G5 will be built on the Gamma platform, which will be stretched to accommodate those cars. Gamma also will underpin the next-generation Opel Corsa and Meriva, and the 2011 or '12 Chevrolet Aveo. Base engine for the '10 Chevy Cobalt will be a 1.4L light-pressure turbo four, which makes its debut a year earlier in the last of the current Cobalts. "Light-pressure" means the engine isn't designed for performance, but to provide decent power from a small, highly fuel-efficient powerplant via relatively low pressure. Pontiacs have their own special place in the Canadian market, and a G5 will again be built with the Chevy Cobalt, whether U.S. dealers demand it or not. Given $4 per gallon gas and '11-'15 CAFE, U.S. Pontiac-Buick-GMC dealers are likely to get the next-generation G5 as well.

The Opel Astra will be on the next-generation Delta platform. In Western Europe, the all-important C-segment is for all practical purposes "midsize," even though it's considered "compact" here. The Opel Zafira is likely to serve as the basis for the Hamtramck plant Delta MPV, probably a Saturn, although there's word the Zafira may move up to the larger Epsilon platform to better compete with the bigger, more successful Ford C-Max. Which explains two Deltas, the MPV and the Volt, being built alongside the next Malibu, an Epsilon, at that factory -- it could turn out to be two Epsilons and a Delta.

What of the Saturn Astra? Logic indicates that car will be built on the new Delta platform for the '11 model year, since GM is linking Saturn and Opel on most models, including the current Astra. But the new Saturn lineup hasn't caught on. Most buyers don't know anything about the brand. Given the cost of building the Astra in Belgium, production of the Saturn version should migrate to the States. Question is whether it will be built in a Delta factory, which probably would be Hamtramck, or whether it would move to the cheaper Gamma platform and be built in Lordstown.

GM North America president Troy Clarke, who declared Sloanism alive and well at the Chicago auto show earlier this year, told Automotive News this week that sales are down 15.4 percent at the revamped Saturn because consumers don't know the brand. No, uh, kidding, Sherlock. Saturn's massive marketing strategy simply hasn't been massive enough in a market that combines poor sales for everyone with stiffer-than-ever competition.

GM really missed an opportunity with Saturn and the Chevy Volt. The plug-in Volt should have been a Saturn. GM chose Chevy to compete with the high-volume Toyota brand, but its Prius is about to become part of its own division of "green" cars within Toyota. With its new line of Opel-centric cars, Saturn is now GM's designated import-fighter, which is supposed to include everything from entry-level Acuras to Volkswagens to Toyotas. As such, Saturn basically fills the slot left by Oldsmobile, which was...GM's import-fighter in its later years. Olds also was traditionally GM's "experimental" division. Yes, I know that Saturn has promised to introduce a plug-in hybrid Vue in '10, but there would have been no better way to put the brand on the automotive map than to give it the first uniquely designed plug-in.

 

For people who are wondering for the interior, here's the link

NOTICE: It is written in Korean language but you don't have to install the language pack cuz you are interested in pics not the article lolz

 

well the interior is a lot better looking. but what about storage space i didnt see a whole lot. unless i missed it. and its not like we have a lot now to begin with

thats even if it is a balt

 

i kinda like the interior more then the current one

 

So production of the Cobalt will NOT be moving to Mexico?

 

I knew it wasn't a Cobalt. This section of the site still = useless.

 

Close this section.

 

Rumors and speculation are FTMFL in this section. Sorry Johnny but seriously...this section is pointless.

 

Hmmm gee i don't know i think i said that like a week and a half ago

 

Notice the Chevrolet shaped indentation in the steering wheel? You can see where the edges of the bow-tie would stick out from the center section.

If it were just a Daewoo, why take the Daewoo logo off the steering wheel? The wheels have it. Why hide it inside and not outside?

Not in those shots, but in the first series from Autoblog, you can pretty plainly see the Chevy bowtie in the grille.
