Sounds like a winner to me. Glad to see GM beat the japs. Competition is a good thing. You know its mileage with the auto? And when will it hit dealer lots so I can take a look see?

This has nothing to do with the fact that it beats honda and toyota in fuel efficiency, which is a huge benchmark for this car. Resale on cobalts actually isnt too bad at all, since they are so cheap to begin with. |
