I was looking around at potential daily drivers when I came across the new Cobalt SS. It looks like it might be a fun comuter and be a decent AX car for DS.
Here are some of the pro's 1. 30 MPG HWY 2. 5 speed manual is good for fun and AX 3. 260 hp 4. Under 2700 pounds and could probably be closer to 2600 5. Brembos 6. FWD for winter 7. Small and manuverable 8. $23,000 Cons 1. FWD for AX 2. Small for the family 3. 5 speed manual in stop and go traffic 4. Big dorky wing (but I think it's an option) 5. 18" wheels and good snow tires don't mix well. (I don't know if 16's would fit over the brakes) 6. G8 is $31,000 I'd much rather have havce a G8, but the mileage, cost and AX potential are pushing me toward smaller cars. |

Imagine that, a GM with hubs that won't hold up to sticky tires and high side loads. Where have we seen that before?
