Do Not Compare Cavalier with Cobalt by catback

The Cavalier which was featured in several types of racing as well as funny cars was retired in 2004. I've seen, now and then, references to the Cobalt being the replacement for the Cavalier. This is quite an insult when you look at the two cars and see they're absolutely different. My Cobalt SS Supercharged SS Stage 2 cost, with the custom paint job, rally striping, and decals, close to $30K, and the Cavalier was America's most affordable compact at $12,000!
 
It was replaced by the Aveo, also priced around $12K. The Cobalt SS actually replaced the Z28 as the performance car in that price range.
 
If you'd like to see what a Stage 2 Cobalt SS looks like, go to Photos and then catback's album!
 
Incorrect statements like this, including one writer from Chevy who I don't believe works there anymore, simply pushes sales overseas and the Stage 2 seriously competes with hopped up Lancers and SI's, and all of them compete with Mustang GTs and up!

your right the cobalt is a different class car than the caviler. the cobalt has an entry level level model that would be competitively priced with the caviler. and agian your right the ss/sc with stage 2 options is by no means a caviler. and as for moparbad your model has 2 to many doors for my personal taste. i have about the same in mine as do you catback and i also have 02 Z28 that cost nearly the same. so as for me your statement that the cobalt is not the replacement caviler is completely correct.

Cobalt is the replacement for the Cavalier. It is Chevrolet's compact car.
 
Aveo is the replacement for the Metro.
 
The Cobalt SS actually replaced the Z28 as the performance car
 
Ridiculous. Comparing the Z28 to a Cobalt.

Oh my Lord.....the Cobolt is absolutely 100% a replacement of the Cavalier. How can you say any different? Even Chevy themselves stated this is their rollout of the vehicle.
 
Here is just one of many links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Cobalt
 
Take a look at the old auto show information.
 
Is the Cobalt an improvement? Sure, but it is a direct replacement. They never replaced the Camaro.....yet.

the cobalt is not a replacement for the cavalier. the cavalier was a mistake and you don't have replacements for them. this is a new model.

If the Cobalt didn't replace the Cavalier, they would still produce Cavaliers. Right? The way I see it, they took the Cavalier out of the production line and "yes" replaced it by a much more dependable, better built, new look and called it The Cobalt. But still you can't compare the Cavalier with the Cobalt, although It replaces it but it's like designing a completely new vehicule.

Stop being in denile. GM told Wallstreet when the car was launched "The Cobalt will replace the Cavalier". Who cares? The Cobalt is going to be dead next year anyway and GM will replace it with something else.
