Wonder if they'll add a Value Package model. When I was thinking of getting one, thats what I was looking at, sure it had only 115 horses, but it was like $13k with AC and a CD player, which is all I really need. I can live with manual windows and door locks, especially in a coupe.

How are they going to be able to ask that premium.. then again there are hundreds of thousands of ppl that would buy a civic if it were 30k!

They're making room for the subcompact Fit.

We have some base Cobalt coupes right now. They are equipped decently, including cd and air, for $14.5k. There's a Blue Granite one that has caught my eye and made me think about what I really need in a vehicle. Edited September 10, 2005 by ocnblu

I keep thinking about those things too. Though I really can't stand the look of the sedan, the coupes really do look pretty cool and after someone I know just bought a base model '05 themselves, I was stunned at how nice the interior still looked and felt--even if it did have crank windows. In reality, all I really need anyway is A/C and a good stereo, so I could actually see myself in one of those, hubcaps, window cranks, and all http://www.cheersandgears.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/AH-HA_wink.gif

IF you drop the truck in favor of a car can you send the truck to me?

This was our thought exactly when we bought ours. I just wanted a manual, good gas mileage, a/c, cruise and a CD player. So far the car has turned out to be more than we expected. 2700 miles already and no complaints.
