anyone got anything on the cobalt and persuit by anychance? pics, news?
i did a search on the cobalt and those pics are of the chevy astra for 2005. as far as i know we will get a 2 and 4 door cobalt and a 2 door pursuit in 2005 and a 4 door pursuit in 2006. the cobalt and pursuit will both be 140hp ecotec and the cabalt ss and pursuit (probably gt) will be 200 hp supercharged. no more z24

in the states there hasn't been a Z since the Gen 3 phase I ended which was what 97? no i was reading a mag today about 05 models and they made a not that this is the last year for the cavalier name. i havn't heard about the persuit is that going to replace the sunfire?

 

[turbodreams]

the mag said is wasnt the last year for the cavalier name? yeah the pursuit will be the new name for the sunfire.

this part I love

Cobalt will keep the same line-up of powertrains, including a 220 hp version of the supercharged Ecotec engine to power the Cobalt SS

the us is keeping the sunfire for a few more years. sweetness may be i can get one next year Canada is getting the persut

The Cavalier sure gets you from point A to point B, especially the turbocharged ones hehe. My car's name was dropped years ago..

What's with that front end design, it's on all their new cars.. I checked out the new malibu last week... I don't know, I don't think I will like the new line up as much. I have read of the camaro possibly coming back again..

 

[dailydriverz]

did you read that bullshit first article? "as GM allowed the second-generation model to become increasingly noncompetitive, analysts say. "

ya uh huh. everyone knows the j bod platform died in 95, but that wasn't the 2nd gen's fault

 

[turbodreams]

any opinions on it that cobalt sketch? i'd prolly buy one, especially the 220 hp one. looks sorta like a civic in a way though too.

 

[munkiballz4769]

i like the bottom sketch, the top pic looks to narrow and tall. 220 hp is nice tho, and its under 20K. and i dont know how they can say the 2nd Gen is non competitive, its one of the more popular early 90's car on the road, at least around where i live.

 

[ninteyonez24]

220hp for under 20grand? ill believe it when i see it.

 

[turbodreams]

look at an srt4 then

 

[turbodreams]

too bad they are doing away with the z24. i think they should have kep the ecotec for base, ecotech supercharged for the z24 then a 2.8 or whatever v6 for SS. sorta like VW has it for the golf.
