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
