That's true but the name Cobalt has no equity. It's another new, forgettable name for a forgettable car.

Ideally a Chevrolet compact should be carrying the Nova name, but I'd hate to see them apply it to something as dire as the Cavalier/Cobalt.

If you use a name like that the car has to be engineered and styled to reflect it's heritage and significance, something GM usually doesn't do.
