I thought I'd share this. Not the best review for the Cobalt but not the worst.

Cobalt SS/SC vs Subaru WRX vs Civic Si vs VW Jetta GLI

 

Interesting article, good find.

 

Not a bad article

 

I remember reading that article when I was at the dentist's last week, it was a painful visit, but a good article.

 

I think I may try to talk my wife into getting a Civic Si. I know you guys will probably flame for that but they are actually nice cars and she already said she was not getting a Cobalt no matter what lol. Her last two cars were Cavaliers and I think she has a bad taste in her mouth with Chevy cars.

 

No one will flame you. It's the people who say crap about other cars who get flamed. You should get if for her in Red. The Si would look nice in red.

 

Nice, another article in which half of it's "facts", come from other car mags, or the vehicles' company webpage.

Way to not over achieve, automobilemag

 

SRT-4, WRX.... another country besides China, they've got enough money
But if the money isnt there, a red, black or white Si will do

 

While I am not surprised by the fact that they said the Honda was best in class, I was delighted to see that they painted the SS as the bad ass of the group!

 

That was a good read, nice find. I really like the new SI's as well. I bet all magazine editors would absolutely LOVE the spoiler on my car instead!

 

I might get flamed for this, but your car with that spoiler bares a striking resemblance to a cavalier...at least from the side view.

 

No flaming at all, I take that as a compliment actually, cavy's have great lines in my opinion.

Here's my old Cavalier and Cobalt side by side for a comparison, there are certain similarities but it's still more edgy body line wise than the cavy i believe.

 

in the article it said the si was going to be priced near $20,000. i talk to a sales person at Colonial honda monday night and he said $24-$25,000.

 

Im sure initially there will be a premium on them when they first hit dealerships, Im sure that price will drop towards the end of the year.

 

Anyone notice something weird about this photo?? Makes me wonder if they even had LSD on the car and if the recaros were just thrown in there.

 

wow these guys couldnt drive i can tell you that. read where they are talking about the subies's review, they say that it was the fastest to 60 by a half second over the cobalt and the subie did it in 5.8 seconds... im gonna have to say wrong on that one. since when did any cobalt run a 6.3 0-60??? thats terrible considering some magazines have even seen 5.9 i believe. also the subie only ran a 14.6 quarter...

 

The new si is pretty friggin sweet, i must admit

 

I was wondering the same thing. It looks horrible too.

 

seems to me the scooby and balt are almost identical w/ the exception of the benefits of AWD on the scooby

 

the center console... left side is straight, the right side bends in-ward as it goes down....maybe

I'm guessn you arent gonna know unless you have the Recaro/LSD package?

 

The honda looks like something a woman would drive


Peace

 

Well, I must say that I am happy with that article. Yes they blew Honda as usual but that is expected. I like the fact as well that our car got the more "aggressive" look and the more "hot rod" like car.

 

y do they call WRX's scooby's?

 

Subaru+ Pet name = Scoobaru- aru+ y = Scooby
