Saw new Cavalier yesterday

I remember the pictures of the new Cavalier floating around. Actually after seeing those I didn't think it woud be too bad. But after what I saw yesterday, I've changed my mind.

I didn't think i'd see one for a while, but I was at Williamsburg, VA yesterday and there was a red one in the parking lot there. I didn't have my digital with me so I wasn't able to get any pics. Instead of looking mean and aggresive or maybe even ho-hum, the front end makes the car look like it's depressed. I mean really down in the dumps. Around back the plasticky looking silver bar on the trunk lid just looks cheap and chincy.

I hate to add to the let down feeling and I really had my hopes up thinking maybe GM could deliver in the sport compact area...oh well, I'll keep my hopes up for the next new car down the line...:(

Yeah, the new Cavalier really looks dumpy. So does the new Sunfire as well. They both look like fugged up Saturns.

I saw the new sunfire a few days ago, and it is very ugly. The lheadlights look really messed up.

Being that I live by the J-Car assembly plant, I see the new ones pretty fast... sometimes before hand with MFG plates.

Anyway, IMHO, the Cavalier front end is OK... at least it's a change. I do not like the new rear end though.

I think the Sunfire looks A LOT better than before.

This is all just a short term patch until the new model comes out though...

Either way, though, a freshening was overdue as the MY2000 freshening for both car was hardly even noticable. :think:
:mad:

:o What a surprise..

What do they interiors look like?:confused:

Interiors are almost identical...

I think seat fabric and a steering wheel change are about it.

I guess it's good that they're atleast different for this year. Still, disappointing and bit fugly. :eek:

I'm gonna have to dissagree with you guys I thought it looked really good! The one I saw was Black and it looked sweet, not that I have a use for one or anything but if I was in the market I'd definatly buy one!!!:bow:
