That's the first thing I noticed, way too high. Not quite the look to earn the SS badge. A few wasy tweaks, and it look much better.

Maybe not quite this low, though.

I say that it is NO SS but a much better replacement for the Cavalier. Sounds good in its repective category, but Wantanewlex, true, nowhere near the Scion tC.

Default Chevy Cobalt

I was at the D.C auto show and missed its intro at Detroit and L.A. , but from what i've read and what you guys have posted here it looks like a much better package than the Cavalier......but then that won't take much. The Cavalier, with the possible exception of the Kia Rio, was just about the worst new vehicle available in the American market.

Call my crazy, but I like the Cobalt’s looks better then the RSX’s, especially the clean lines and sweet fender flairs!
