It's not the end of the cobalt. The Cruze is going to be the ultra-high mileage small car for Chevy and the Cobalt will be built alongside it for awhile yet.

Edit: Bah, nvm, looks like their source of info changed its mind: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/..._info_car_news
We expect the current Cobalt to be offered through June 2010, with the 2011 Cruze built alongside it until the Cobalt is phased out.

From wikipedia:
Cavalier 24 years production....
Cobalt 4 years production......
^ Fail GM fail......
I would give the coby atleast 10 years and maybe one more redesign.

Month later cruze comes out. Dunno. I guess we will see, or they are flipflopping. Here is something though,
Look at that sedan and compare it to the current 4 door cobalt. Its also still on the delta platform. Coincidence? i dont think so.

I agree, the Cruze looks nice, especially in that red (I didn't like the white one in the old spy photo, but I don't like white cars as a rule...).
What scares me is the 140 hp 1.4L engine... where's my performance model??????????????

Reguadless how they make it or how good it looks, car reviewers are gonna have a bitchfest on how "the interior feels cheap." They threw that on the ZR1 also! "For 100K the interior has the same cheap plastics on the Z06, not what you expect for 100K."

well.. there is a difference between a 100k car recieving the same cheap plastic that a 25,000$ car recieves... They have a valid point for the ZR1.... it shouldn't have the same interior as a 55,000$ Z06
The cobalts interior is cheap... because it is a cheap car .. 23k...... the argument is not valid because your getting exactly what your paying for.
Bottom line.. if I could have the power of our 08-09 Balt SSs with just the exterior of the Cruze... I would be a happy camper. Cobalts exterior is not hideous by any means however.
