1) Stop typing like a 12 year old
2) We people don't think that, we people drive these cars
3) The cobalt/G5 replaced the Cavalier/Sunfire. Same size, same engine, same power, close enough. Yes, it's a different vehicle, however, they are replacements, therefore anyone who doesn't care will say they are the same.

I pick on people that type like a crack addict with downs.

IE You.

To answer your question though, it's because people are prone to pre judge **** they don't know about.

lol yeah sometimes people get a little to worked up here. Anyways, just ignore those people who say the cobalt is cavalier, because they obviously do not know what they are talking about becuase they arent that alike and the cobalt is way sweeter.
Tell him you'll race him and see whos got the better car.

Me too. Like my old Z, for instance:



I always refer to my SS S/C as the modern-day Z24. If I look closely enough at it I can kind of see some styling cues that date back even to the late 80's Z24.

Considering the level of stupidity involved in your typing, I was actually being pretty nice. The last person I saw type like that was literally a 12 year old girl on AIM..i.e. my sister. It's ******* annoying. It's hard to read, and people don't take you seriously. Do yourself a favor, try to sound intelligent, and you will get a lot further in life.

I think its cuz the Cavy has wheels and the Cobalt also has wheels. So that makes them the same. End of story.

Unless you're texting your posts from your cell phone, just spell out the words entirely. "be4" isn't a real word.

Anyway.... I've seen people on other forums refer to the Cobalt as "just a rebadged Cavalier". My response is usually "Is a Cavalier a rebadged Vega? Is a Focus a rebadged Escort? Is the Caliber a rebadged Neon?". I don't get it. For some reason only the Cobalt gets this "rebadged" reputation.

Easy answer. It replaced the cavalier and the cavalier was typically a "girl's car" or at best wasn't consider a performance vehicle (it never had an SS Trim). So, the best they can do is bust on us by calling it a cavalier to make themselves feel better about....... themselves.

Ask them to race.... spank them by 8 years (yes as slow as civics are you'll literally end up further in time then he will...lol) and then at the end of the race tell him, "OH ****!, YOU'RE SLOW AS ****... YOU JUST GOT BEAT BY THE NEW CAVALIER".

In a word: Ignorance.
