I know that they stopped making them, but they are some truly nice cars. SO much nicer than the Mustang GT it's not even funny.
Yeah, those are some sweet cars...it's just too bad they looked so bland. (And the gas guzzler thing doesn't help either).

Yeah, but the gas guzzler only applies to the automatic. If you get the 6-speed manual there is no gas guzzler tax...plus you get the sweet snap, crackle pop upon deceleration!

Kinda cheap? More like, horrendously cheap.

We drove a Cobalt rental in Hawaii last year for two weeks. If we weren't on vacation, I'd been embarrased to be seen in it. And what's with the retardedly large rear wing?

Seriously, to compare the Cobalt with other compacts in its class such as the Mazda3, Civic, and even the Rabbit - it's a complete joke.

I know, but it's the image/bad press thing. I think the gas guzzler classification hurt the GTO. It might have contributed to its "overlooked" status.

sorry to post off topic but a 100% tint would be no tint at all. the lower the % the darker the tint.
