Road & Track Article

I did a search and couldn't find anything on it, which surprised me, cuz it's only the Feb issue of the magazine. Anyways, I picked it up yesterday, and there is a pretty positive "First Drive" review of the Cobalt. I do not have a scanner, but I'll give you some highlights. Keep in mind it was a "First Drive" and not a "First Test", so they didn't use any test instrumentations, just a seat of the pants review.

From the Table of Contents:

"A little word association: Cavalier? Cost-cutter. Cobalt? Class Challenger. Chevy has done a complete melt-and-repour of it's entry level sedan, and we like the result (especially the SS version)."

Body:

"With the Cobalt, Chevrolet has built a thoroughly modern, class-challenging contender that eclipses its forerunner in every major way."

"Whether it's the base sedan or the hopped-up SS, the Cobalt accomplishes Chevrolet's mission of producting a vehicle that can take the compact car fight to imports and domestics alike... the Cobalt has the refinement, features and performance to make a decent show of it."

As I've said before, the more press I read about the car, the more excited I get about it. The fact that legitimate proffesionals have tested and are impressed with the car makes me think that even though the wait was long, it was worth it.
