Arrow Special 2005 Cavalier to be offered.

Yes, that's right folks, a 2005 Chevrolet Cavalier! To be made for under five months only, the 2005 will be identical to the 2004 with the exception of the final LS Sport Special Editions, which will have a different rear spoiler and rally graphics that spread from the hood to the rear decklid spoiler. Remember, you heard it here first!

It that's true, I wonder why they would even bother? With GM's 'Road to Redemption' campaign, I'd think they'd want to just let this little crapmobile quietly fade away into obscurity.

Sure...but the sorta 'celerate' it with a flashy graphics package? Me-no-understand. Someone at GM must really be attached to that car

It's probably also one last shot at filling up the rental car lots, since they're not going to want to prostitute out the Cobalt to the same degree they did the Cavy.

What 1990 Turbo Grand Prix failed to tell you guys is that it will also come with a supercharged LS1 and AWD

Well at least our fare-well car had rims that looked slightly different.

Hey come on now...its GMs longest running car platform now that the F body is gone...they gotta give it some sort of send-off. Its been their POS for millions of people and 22 years...its been around almost as long as me!

I shed a tear...ok, I'm done. What a joke
