You know, every GM division having the virtually SAME lineup can do more harm than good...

Why does Chevy need a 2-seat cheapo roadster?

Why does Saturn need large cars?

Why does everyone need a Trailblazer clone?

Does GM really need so much overlap? It would be cheaper and wiser for GM corporate to build fewer models of better cars. Do the dealers run the company or something?

I agree 100%

how bout this...call it .............



Cavalier????


Think about it....
The name has alot of draw to it..it moves a little upscale as a roadster..the Cobalt takes its place as what it was and the Cav makes a new place at Chevy as an intro roadster..

Simple... look at all the manufacturer's with 2-seat roadsters powered by 4 cylinders.

Chevy could enter the market at the lower-end and grab all those young buyers that can't afford the high-end import version.

Keep it cheap and lightweight, but offer a ton of options so folks can customize it to suit their needs. If its cute and has a catchy (or historical) name, it could be a huge seller.

I thought they were trying to get a little more brand distinction, and also trying to make pontiac look a little more sportier than chevy in general so why this?

If it has a better front than pontiac I might be interested. I really dont like the pontiac front end. Also a V6 and AWD would be nice like the Audi TT.

I like it.

But i would see it as pointless without some serious differentiation between it and the pontiac model. By differences, i don't mean body panels alone.
