She liked the interior, but said she could not see any difference with the exterior. Her best girlfriend that works here owns a Cobalt. I brought up a pic of a Cobalt and put them side by side, and she said, "I don't see much difference.". I told her about how it is a completely different car, and she tells me she would "much rather have a Toyota or a Honda". Not even a specific vehicle, just a "Toyota or a Honda".

I think GM could build a car designed by God Himself and idiots like her won't consider it.
Some people are sheep, but until now there was no compact built by GM that had any hope of comparing. The cobalt was a start, but when the car you are benchmarking is four years old, there is not a lot to be expected. But this is great now, and I hope it is great in 2 years when it finally gets here.
