The coupe looks nice, but the sedan looks a bit odd IMO. :)

I like the interior! :)

of course you would... fanboi ;) :p

Hehe, well I'm sure that you should be able to get a $5,000 rebate on one of those Cobalts soon enough :p

That being said, I think it looks better than regular Focus or Neon crap. And it DEFINITELY looks better than the old Cavalier and Sunire craptoids. The Coupe actually looks pretty tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Looks much better inside and out than the Cavalier. This thing is way overdue, thankfully it looks like GM did a pretty good job with it. :beer:

Why is it that the Cavalier replacement has a better exterior and interior than the new Malibu, which is going to compete against the Camry and Accord?

Hey, if that include all of GMs rebates, I wouldn't mind owning the 200+ hp SS coupe in blue :p

Nice interior, great engine, and CHEAP parts and repairs. This might be the first GM car I actually consider owning :D

Maybe it's b/c the Cavalier has a much higher potential to cut into Civic/Corolla sales/buyers than the Malibu does with the Camry/Accord

Very nice.. glad to see Chevy come through with this one. However, I wouldn't count on rebates on this car in any significant amount. Part of the reason they got rid of the Cavalier name was because of the massive amount of rebates associated with the name.

but...is it gonna go five miles and then go back to the service dept??? :p

The Ecotec is a pretty good motor, so I would expect this car's powertrain will be just fine, and with it being a new launch and all, following with the most recent GM launches, fit and finish and quality of materials should be much imporoved from previous models.

The Malibu would had better potential if it wasn't so bland.

Because of those lights? Really, Chevy was the one that came out with that style via the Vette.

I think that is a pretty awesome vehicle. Just so much better than the POS Cavalier, interior looks good (sure as heck does resembe that Golf) and the exterior isn't too shabby.

GM is slowly but surely going into the right direction.

nice interior, i like the rear and sides,
but i cant really see the front so who knows.

Either way its WAY better than malibu which is pretty damn ugly. Someone should hint chevy that the chrome bar across the front doesnt work ... not for truck and DEFINITELY not for passanger vehicles

If the price stays in the same area as the Cav and Sunfire they will sell like a MoFo!!!!

Can't wait to see what the supercharged ones look like ;)

The coupe is hooottttttt....
Bring on the 200hp SS.......I'll be in line.

The side profile looks alot like the 98-02 Accord coupe which is one of my favorite looking car.
