Title: I'm strangely attracted...

...to this car.

In discussing Motown in the other thread, I mentioned the Chevrolet Cobalt. Now, I know you'll all say that, because it's American, the suspension and ride will be rubbish (and it's FWD), but I rather like the look of it.

Especially when it's done up like this one (link copied from other thread):

What do you lot think?

Might look a million dollars but it's a Yank car so it'll have live axles and leaf springs underneath and handle extremely well - in a straight line. ;)

EDIT: What you said, in fact. :-[

True, but 0-60 in 5.2 and a top of 160mph for 2-litre (SS version) is impressive.  :y

It says a lot that the first picture that they show you on that site is taken from the rear of the car.....

Then, when I saw what the front looked like, I understood why....

Whats the point of dressing up an exhaust with a piece of chrome when the cars as ugly as that..........?????

Not my cup of tea either mate, and cheap for a reason......

You're probably right. I wouldn't buy one, but it's not quite the usual old tat that we have come to expect. ;) ;D
