There isn't that large of a statistical difference between Chevrolet and Honda to justify needing repair twice as often. This isn't Honda v. Kia we're talking here. Chevy is average, Honda is on the high side of average. The Cobalt and HHR have very good reliability ratings.

The resale card can be played both ways... but it is slightly less less insidious with the domestics. Yes, the domestics depreciate faster *from sticker* than their foreign counterparts, but generally one can get a domestic for cheaper than a foreign car of equal size and option So, yes, one takes a hit on depreciation on a domestic, BUT with a foreign make, you pay more upfront... and possibly pay interest on it. Which is worse? They both suck, but the imports get to charge you interest while you get screwed.

uhm, but you're not a new owner living with it everyday. You had a... what, 1 hour max with the car?

That's great, but you've overlooked my two main objections. It's ugly as sin from the front while managing to be bland everywhere else, and, the interior look is just "ho hum" . As an appliance, I'm sure it's great. As for passion, it has none.

*Only* because it has an upright H on the grill.

I've been with the same guy for 2 year spank you very much!

it doesn't look different enough to be a new design. old 3-series v. new 3-series old 5-series v. new 5-series current CTS v. NG CTS old IS v. New IS That's how you evolve a car.

Buickman and Josh.... because I'm a masochast

I say again, how much longer can the Cobalt be considered a "Launch vehicle"?

and back on topic.... oy! that's gotta hurt!

why do we never see your nit-picks of the foreign makes then?

I've been in one... and I'd still choose the Pheaton or XJ.

Dodge Magnum Hemi with AWD

With gas prices the way they are, can't people buy a 4-cylinder anymore?

kinky

Satty's fusion is red.

well... it *can* trace it's roots back to the Saab 9-3

Gooooo Raider!

Meeee too.... oh wait, that's not what you ment

Awsome! Throw one in a CTS. I'll take lower HP for higher economy though. Make the performance equal to the current CTS with MPG in the 60-70 range.... prius who?

he's pissed that the warrenty didn't cover something.... it's not really a lemon issue, it's a warrenty issue.

is that any better and is the net result any different?

Any vehicle that is driven 100,000 miles in less than 2 years is going to have some issues. This guy must live in this truck!
