Grand Am's with the side cladding and overall cheap looking exterior were notorious for rear spoilers, too. I'm so glad that most G6s I see on the road don't have one.

Stop it from Shutting Off by t_l_mack

Many customers have complaints about the Cobalt shutting off sporadically. Chevy needs to serious look into this before they are approached with litigation.

Bought a 2007 LS sedan recently. My initial "constructive criticism" comments for Chevy are as follows:
 
1. Put a center armrest with storage under it *standard* in all models. I know the LS is the low end model, but leaving out an armrest just seems *SO* petty and cheap on the part of Chevy.
 
2. My own personal opinion is that the speedometer and tach should have their positions reversed. Depending on your size and tilt-wheel setting, the left half of the speedometer can be obscured by the steering wheel as it currently is. Swapping positions would allow better visibility for all wheel settings and driver heights on the speedometer.
 
3. Why is there a mirror on the passenger sun visor, but not the driver side? I don't get that.
 
4. Rethink the steering wheel. It's "acceptable" as is, but would be much more comfortable without a bar in the center bottom area (just my opinion, since I like to hold the wheel along the bottom area). Just two thicker side supports would be better.
 
5. On the one hand I love having the cd player be a standard piece of equipment. But the radio reception on my car is pretty poor. Don't know if that's just a problem with mine, or typical overall. But there's more static/break-up in this radio than in any other car I've ever owned.
 
Otherwise the Cobalt is a pretty decent little car for the price. With a few tweaks, it could be a great little car.

Make a hatchback by gary045

Make a hatchback like the Mazda3, and up the HP. Some people won't buy anything but a hatchback in a small car.
Have the fit and finish, design, and quality of the Saturn Astra. Opal Astra = Europes best selling car,
per Car&Driver, the interior is better executed than cars costing twice as much as $16K.

Oh yeah, and a couple more things. Make it with the quality and reliability of a Honda or Toyota,
and the warranty of a Hyundai.
Then all your problems will be solved... Now get busy...

Ford just paid Mulally $28 million by gary045

Yes, Ford just paid Mulally $28 million to to turn the company around, for 4 months work in 06, with little or no results so far.
GM should hire me for $56 million a quarter to get them on the right path to beat Honda and Toyota. It's a no brainer to me...IMHO

yes it seems like the clear coat is soft or something. i was able to take some wax and elbow grease and get rid of some of them.
