That car looks like it was designed in the mid 1990's.. Not 2005

If that's the case, then so does the Accord and Camry...

I saw both vehicles in Detroit last weekend and they look much improved, not as dated as the previous styling.

I agree, they seem just as modern, if not more than the rest of the FWD sedans out today.

303hp just about blows every other competitor out of the water, and by a HUGE margin. GM pretty much bought an Ak47 to a knife fight. Fwd though....that's killing the monte-SS for me though.

Too bad the torque management will own them.

FWD = AK47 with an empty magazine.

More like an AK that is stuck on single shots (semi-auto).

Put the anology down and step away from the anology slowly....


Anyway, I only hope that GM adds an LSD option for the SS and GXP cars like the Cobalt SS and Ion RL have.
