I think the sedans will appeal to anyone on a budget while the coupes will target the yuppies (20-30) while the SS will be even narrower and target the tuner sub-culture.

I'm turning 26 and will probably get the LS Coupe so I guess GM's marketing was spot-on.

 

I wanna see this! The links are down now, apparently the bandwidth allowed has been exceeded!

 

I was laughing when I read the paperwork for the SS because I'm 24 and will be 25 in April. Guess they do their homework when it comes to demographics...

 

check now, I fixed his links

 

1. its RECARO seats.

2. Great commercial. Kinda od they used a SS and mentioned nothing about it.

I believe the cars in the parking lots were Corollas--yawn.

 

how can u tell what seats they are?

 

I believe he's correcting the often used "Ricardo" with what the company really is, "Recaro".

Thanks Jonel, Voodoosoup already emailed it to me. Thanks again for that Phil.

Decent commercial, it was on again here during the Superbowl. All of my friends (19-23 year olds) were like "Hey thats a really nice car". It definitely does stand out and look good in blue, but I hope they do a more performance geared commercial for it soon.

 

I agree that it needs the ground effects kit and everything on it. It's just not an SS w/o them. But the blue is amazing...Who wants to buy me one?

 

Impavalier - I'll buy you a blue one if you buy me a silver one.

 

I am 26

 

well im sory that chev has not mutch tast in the desine of the cobalt but it does have
a saturn engen oh i mean sabb engen in it but you can have the ricaro seets as an
option but they come standard in the redline. and yes they are the best seets i have sat in
sofar.i wont bash the cobalt that bad, but when they come to calgary alberta canada
i will be spanking them but somthing bad.i have yet to be beten by an import.
so atleast ill have some compition now.

 

well im not far from 30 and i have a redline so what does that say about me
it says that im getting @#$%&* old, well at least i didnt spend 50 gs on a car that
does not preform. top speed i have reached past 150 mph.
1/4 mile using the g tech pro 14.5sec.

 

Spell-check????

 

just b/c u think chevy doesn't have much taste doesn't mean that it's true, personally i hate how the redline looks and to me saturn has no taste, but i know everybody has their own taste and opinion and not everyone likes the same thing, its all about whatever floats your boat, so if u don't have something good to say...

p.s. i don't know y people that dislike the cobalt would take the time to find a cobalt forum, sign up, and post???

 

Spelling and commas.

And I'm chosing to not even dignify your comment on the Cobalt styling with a reply. Have a nice day.

 

Ive looked at the redline and it looks alot better in person than it does in pictures

i love the fact that it has those partial rear doors!

Ive seen all the pictures of the cobalt and have yet to dislike it

i just hope the SS looks as good as it does in the pics!

 

I drool over this car.

first mod it needs is a mild drop and your on your way for a nice little import killer with style coming out from the dealer

 

I have to chime in on the target market issue. I am probably the old man on this site at 42, but to me that is meaningless - my 50-something cousine's wife drives a WRX and she is cool. I currently have an 01 Cavalier Z-24, and fell in love with the SS the first time I saw a picture of one.

Notice when you make it to my age you become a pretty good speller as well!!

 

Oh the irony! cousin's

Not attacking just found it humorous.

Of course now that I think of it you couldn't really call that ironic but some other word that I can't think of...

 

I am the same age and I freaked out the first time I saw this car, have not done that since the release of the 1983 Monte Carlo SS

 

I'm sure the SS guys from Calgary (and Edmonton) will have something to say about that. Cobalt vs. Redline stock is purely a driver's race.

 

For anyone who hasnt seen the new Cobalt SS...it is nice upclose and personal. I went to a big car show on this past friday and got to see the SS up close (unfortunately they werent letting you get inside of it) and it is better then what the pictures let on. In the pictures it looks alot bigger in my opinion, but really it isnt. I cant wait another week without getting to test drive this car. I know someone who works for a chevy dealer and they said it should be on the showroom by the 20th...cant wait

 

Let us know about it and try to get some pics

 

I overall good commerical. A lot better then some of the others.

 

I'm 41 and I sell Chevy cars and trucks. I come here to get an idea what you guys are thinking and your likes and dislikes. Great site.
