At the time Chevy was still "owned" by the US government. If a company is so bad with their finances that my tax money has to save them, then the car is going to have to be awesome for me to pay them more money for it. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |

It may be nice to say that much of GMs line-up before the bankruptcy was crap. The Cobalt was what the Cavalier should have been in the 90s and was hopelessly outclassed. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |

Early Focus models has some problems. The Focus seems to be marketed almost exclusily towards the younger crowd. see full Ford Focus review |

This is a very good car. However, people look down on Ford. It will take Ford years to regain the image of decent, reliable transport - which is what the Focus excels at. see full Ford Focus review |
