Same thing I thought. Kinda looks like a 2g mated with a Cobalt. The jury is out on my opinion, if it had an awd turbo 4 like the 1g and 2g, it'd definitely be a lot cooler.

I think it looks good, if that was what I was in the market for, I'd give it a serious look.

It looks real ugly in the orange pics, but in the grey ones it doesn't look that bad at all. Either way...

No turbo AWD, no care.
