The role of Cavalier has now been divided into two cars. The Aveo and Cobalt. The Aveo will take care of the lower end of the market leaving the Cobalt free to move up in the chain a little.
0-60 times for the SS model (about $20k) are in the low 6 sec range. That's a shy slower than the Neon SRT4. It reportedly handles much better though. It's funny to think that not too long ago that's what a brand new Z-28 ran. The 1/4 isn't quite as good obviously. The interior shots are impressive and IMO the styling is a nice balance between overdone and boring.Joe K.

Aparently the Cobalt will be a serious car...especially when you move up to the SS version (205hp; willing to bet that's underrated)...quality is way up and styling is just right. GM is finally getting it's act together with it's models...I happy for them.

197 to the wheels on the SS version...just like the Saturn Redline Ion (same platform/engine) the engine is pretty much a race version of the 2.2. It's de-stroked to a 2.0, forged everything, sodium filled valves, ported head, all sorts of fun stuff. If its using the same tranny as the Ion, the gears are a little ****** up. Way too much of an rpm drop from first to second....but alright after that.

all are built on the delta platform, but the chevy looks the best.
