I think I found the replacement to my aging MX-3.:Q

Two questions:
1) What does "early 2004" mean, exactly? I have my eye on a Protege5, and I'm nearly ready to pull the trigger in the next week or 2. My MX-3 might be able to hold out long enough.

2) Price?

The front of the Cobalt looks like an SVT Lightning:Q

I don't care what it looks like as long as it replaces the 1000's of Cavaliars driving around in my town.

Do you ever have anything positive to say? Just curious.

I like the way it looks... They'll offer it in a 2 door hopefully.

Depending on the price... I wouldn't mind purchasing one, but that's after their reliability goes up.

Oh my god... it's actually NOT ugly!

 

[loup garou]

Looks like an improvement (hell anything is an improvement over the current styling of the Cavalier)...however, it's hard to say what it'll actually look like from a drawing.

That Mazda 3 looks AWESOME though!
EDIT: Gah, just saw the pics on VWVortex...ricer taillights...nooooo!

I don't think those lights will make it over here.

Cobalt is relatively old news now, I have an actual picture released by GM on accident. Let me see if I can get it uplaoded somewhere...

I don't think so either. They ditched the clear lense taillights for the Mazda6, and I imagine they'll do the same for the 3.

mAdD INDIAN, does the link have any size specs? I saw a link for the Japanese Axela, but didn't get a chance to see if it had anything detailed.

Heres the pic that GM released on accident. This is blown up and zoomed in from the original, which featured a wodden Cadillac 16 model or something...
