Whats so special about the Chevy Cobalt.?
Only 205HP and 2991Pounds also its an american car. I love how companies can hype up a product that doesnt deserve any hype. I guess they are trying to compete with the SRT-4 Neon but the Neon looks like it has more upgrade potential. Is there some hype Iam not getting or does everyone like the commercials with the Cobalt hitting up the C6?

i just saw it on the chevy website. it's supercharged and it sucks. looks like a riced out cavalier. they should've turbocharged an aveo-lighter,more nimble,and turbo charged has better potential.

Re:Whats so special about the Chevy Cobalt.?
It really is just hype. It's the first (real) attempt from Chevy to attack the "civic nation".
Yes it's supercharged, and it's like 2.2 liter or something, but only puts out 205 or something (and I'm sure that's at the flywheel). Not very impressive.
What is impressive is the look of the car, and if the motor turns out to be able to take large amounts of abuse, it could be a pretty good platform to wrench on. The weight and the low horse output (for being supercharged) are my only concerns. I can't remember the torque on it.
Everything these days I compare to honda. If a car comes out with 2.2 or 2.4 liter with a supercharger, I just ask myself what an H22 would put out with a supercharger. Compared to that does this new car impress you? Not in this case, but if the car looks good and the motor proves to be a 4 cylinder 350, or B16 (a.k.a. A good platform to add to) than it could be good.
