Wing is way overdone, interior is EXTREMELY bland/unimaginative, seats appear to have no lateral bolstering, red crap on the door panels looks cheap and tacky, not to mention that the silver trim around the window switches reflects off the hard glossy plastic :rolleyes:

Very, very, very unimpressive.

I somehow forgot the most important pic.

I guess i'm the only one that was suprised that it looks good. Sure it may not be 100% perfect...but compare it to ANYTHING GM has ever done in this segment!

*shutters*thinks about cavalier*shutters*

"This segment" being what exactly? If you mean a factory tuner compact GM hasn't ever done anything in this segment asie from the Saturn Ion Red Line. I mean maybe you could count the Cavalier Z24 but I wouldn't.

By "this segment" I mean any and every compact or small car they have ever made. You all might say thier efforts have been wasted by using cliche wheels and a pepboys interior coloring kit, but atleast they are putting forth an effort. Im usually on the side which bashes GM, and I dont love everything they did on this vehicle....but it's 1000 paces in the right direction. that is all.

The last picture you show has a black center stack face....which is currently what all "regular" cobalts will have....the Silver in the first set looks so much better....but I dont know what will make it on the SS.

GM REACHES OUT TO TUNER ENTHUSIASTS
Supercharged Chevy Cobalt SS will hit dealers' lots in fall

Hoping to boost small car sales, General Motors Corp. is wheeling out a host of toys for tuners, including a supercharged version of the upcoming Chevrolet Cobalt that goes on sale this fall.

The automaker also plans to take the wraps off a supercharger kit for the Pontiac Sunfire and Chevrolet Cavalier at the International Auto Salon in San Diego, Calif.

The 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Supercharged Coupe will feature a 205 horsepower Ecotec 2.0 liter, supercharged four-cylinder engine and five-speed transmission.

The car rides on 18-inch wheels and performance tires.

“The Cobalt SS Supercharged Coupe was developed to appeal to the tuner enthusiast,” Pete Langenhorst, Chevrolet Cobalt marketing director, said in a statement.

Pricing will be announced in the fall, the company said.

The new Cobalt line includes a sedan and coupe and replaces the Cavalier, which goes out of production in October.

For those looking to give their Chevy Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire some added oomph, an Ecotec 2.2 liter supercharger kit will be available through GM dealerships at the end of the year.

GM estimates the kit will deliver an 11-pound boost, resulting in 175 horsepower at 5600 rpm— a 25 percent increase.

Pricing hasn’t been set.

Seems like they could have got more out of the thing than 205hp?!?

I am not really impressed with it....like everyone said it has a lot of cheapness and copying of other cars.:rolleyes:

i have to say it doesnt look as bad as it could have, but its still fugly. and ya mike, that dash is seriously straight out of a VW. but theres nothing genuine or unique about this car at all, and thats why it sucks.
