The
Chevrolet Cobalt is due to replace the
Chevrolet Cavalier in the Fall of 2004. The Cobalt seems to be pitted against some of the
Japanese makers to help
General Motors get back some of the lost
market-share. Over the past few years
Honda,
Mitsubishi,
Toyota and other manufacturers have outpriced the
American car manufacturers. Chevrolet is hoping that the Cobalt is the answer to their problems.
The Cobalt will come with a 2.2L, 2.4L, or a 2.0L engine, the latter equipped with a
supercharger. Seating 4, this 2 or 4-door
sedan seems to appeal to the practical, mid-20's market. For the buyers who have some more
money, the awesome
XM Satellite Radio will be an option. If you don't like listening to
radio at all, you can get a
CD/
MP3 player. GM's
OnStar system is also an option if you are worried about road service.
The Cobalt will come in numerous colors, including Stealth Gray and Victory Red.
It is still too early to see the final color list or price, as Chevrolet hasn't released them yet.
