Specialty trims like that rarely last more than a couple years. For instance the Si only appeared for a couple years at a time until the most recent generation. SS/sc and SS/tc each lasted 3 model years.

I noted the exception for the Civic in my original post. Those other cars keep their names because the names actually mean something. GM has done the same with cars that have a history or reputation worth holding on to, i.e. Malibu, Corvette, Silverado, etc. When they have a small car that the industry and its customers genuinely want (NOT Cobalt, NOT Cavalier), then expect that name to be retained through different model generations.
Look at how much most of those cars have changed though. Those brand just make a new "generation" of the car. They make essentially completely different cars, just keep the same name. GM could keep the same names, and call the cruze the cobalt still, and just call it the second generation, but instead they just changed the name, to make people feel like they're getting something new. It's the same thing either way, still not the same car it used to be.

Yeah I understand your point... But your missing the optra haha I think its wasnt really popular in the states
Yeah its true I gues GM is using a different for of advertising for their cars but still I think the cobalt was the best cars they've made... its like the civic for honda
