Couldn't tell if anyone else posted this video before..but honestly its pretty stupid...these guys really dont know what they are talking about...especially the people making comments on the video, "Im sorry, Im still laughing at the fact it only makes 205 w/ a supercharger..lol"...for an example...a lot haters out there that's for sure..

All the domestic cars place last...what a surprise. They couldn't have had a more skeptical approach to the review. Car and Driver are biased M Fers

 

So it takes a High Revving engine to make them happy WTF!!! Why does everyone knock the interiors on these cars. I think everything is placed just right like he said about the suby. At least the gave the balt props for being the second fastest of the bunch. End Rant.

 

The RSX has the ugliest interior out of all of them, the only thing that stands out is the gauges. Otherwise, I'd take the Neon over the RSX and the Subie... well it's a nice overall car that can at least be driven in the winter with confidence, can't really say the same for the rest of them.. that's why I park my SS in the winter. It's not a sleigh, it's a summer ass kicker.

 

thats old!!!! anyone notice the balt is a 05? and yes it is a repost

 

I would pick any of the first 4 over that damn rsx any day....Car and Driver sucks

 

Peeps are ignorant.

'Cause if they simply bothered to read some of the Cobalt forums, they'd know that the SC is actually PUTTING DOWN 210-220hp stock. That means 240-250hp at the crank.

And normally, I like C&D. But they really blew it on this one.

car and driver vehicle comparison FTL!

 

that's very old... i love it... every article like that, the cobalt has the best 0-60, fastest lap time, best braking, etc. but it loses because of shitty interior. what the **** does that have to do with a performance magazine? how can a civic si (not sure if this is the one that the civic si beats it in) beat the cobalt in a PERFORMANCE TEST when it has slower accleration, slower peak speak, slower braking, and worse cornering? doesn't make sense.

 

Yeah, even though that test wasn't really that old (Sept. 2005) C&D's pick don't figure on this one.

I've been following C&D for over 30 years now and have been a fan of theirs because their performance numbers have always been spot on (today, MT and R&T have gotten better - but back in the day they were often WAY OFF).

Interior?

I (like most of us here) are into performance. Sure, if the interior is nice ... that's ok. But what good is having a flashy interior if the guy next to you blows by you like you were standing ?

C&D, you blew it ...

 

I totally agree with you man!!
