Funny that no mfg ever had the guts to make a hot looking production car in the low end price market just to appeal to the minnows out there who would like to pretend they were whales on weekends just by cruizin' round and turnin' a few heads while at the same time avoiding speeding tickets and sipping gas. But I digresss......... it's just that it's my story of why I chose to get a base LS coupe with a factory installed spoiler. I thought at the time, and STILL think it is the coolest looking low price car that GM ever put on the market for the low end buyer. It's also the reason why I think the Cruze - if not for the lame name alone - will be a flop. Unless GM gets an ******* spokesman for TV like Ford did to sell their mundane looking lineup of "Folkswagons" like the Fuckus (or is that Focus? I forget) and the Fewsons. Then maybe they can subliminally convince throngs of losers (avg. Americans)to buy a car that looks outdated before they even drive it off the lot. Back in the day, we called those kind of cars a Plymouth. Practical, unoffensive, super understated, granny approved to buy as a graduation gift for their hormone gorged grandkid, freaking piece of ****.
But anyway, here is my Cobalt LS Stingray ZR1 C6.r 2008 automatic with an attitude. Sorry de-badgers.... the badges are back.... de-badging is so early 2000's..........

But in leaving, I'll say one final thing... I remember when the Balt and the new C6 Vette were first brought to TV advertising as a "nose to nose" little brother - big brother type theme.
I had to laugh at the concept. A Corvette has no little brother, and throwing an SS badge with Brembos on a front wheel drive econo car does not a little brother make. Just a thought and a memory of one of GM's last failed marketing attempts right along side the Solstice and The Sky. God forbid they would have actually make that platform into an affordable redo of the old Stingray name. After all, like most businesses, the execs probably weren't even born yet when these iconic names were available. Good luck to GM with the Cruze. And thank you all for letting me visit for awhile !!
