.....for the car thar replaces the Cobalt , whatever GM decides to call it if they dont retain the Cobalt name .

Its quite a contrast to what we have now ....almost caddy CTS'ish .




Sorry if these have been posted , I looked but coulda missed .

 

That steering wheel is fugly.

 

ehhh

 

the gauges are nice i guess

 

It's OK I guess, very European though. I was really hoping for a scaled down version of the Malibu interior personally.

It really bears a striking resemblance to the Ford Verve concept interior

I like it.
The steering wheel is a tad on the ugly side though.

 

Looks like the interior of the civic.

:|

 

On second look, I dont like the door.
Looks "thrown" together.

*Edit*

Okay, on third and final look, I change my mind.
I am noticing a lot of little detail that are making it look ugly.
Its like they tried to hard, and went over board on the little details.
Like the cup around the ignition.

 

Way to many buttons.

 

reminds me of video game interior

 

i thought we already established that was not a cobalt ?

 

don't push the red button.

 

From what's being said, there won't be a Cobalt anymore. If I recall correctly, GM stated that there is going to be one "global" car, that will essentially be the same car, sold in different countries, much like the Astra. And recent reports state that they are ditching the Cobalt name in favour for something else (a move I don't agree with).

 

is that blue carbon fiber?

 

looks really cluttered.

 

if I didn't already know it was a chevy I would definitely think it was a foreign car...Why does that not surprise me?

That looks pretty nice

 

The one thing I noticed, is they changed the e-brake handle from the brick shape like we have on our Cobalts, to what appears to be a more ergonomic, rubber gripped one. Perhaps General Motors ***IS*** listening to us But I could be wrong.

The interior looks very Malibu-esque, which I like.

 

that looks a lot better. look how short that shifter is!

 

way to civic like

 

at least it will be offered in a 5 speed lol

 

6 if the rumors are right

 

I sincerely hope they are taking the Malibu approach with this car.

By that I mean, taking the class leading cars like the Civic, Corolla, and Jetta, and using them as a benchmark to make this car better in every way. It worked well with the Malibu, and should pay dividends to this car. That's the attitude they need to take, and truthfully, its long overdue.

 

They "benchmarked" the Jetta/Golf last time out when they designed and introduced the Cobalt. Unfortunately for GM, within a year of being on the market VW came out with their current generation cars that leapfrogged their older models (of which the Cobalt didn't really stack up that well against). The new pics look promising and if the material quality is up to par should do nicely. The competition isn't standing still so they need to do no less than that to be competitive.
