I honestly do not know. I doubt they just want to keep selling the Cobalt because they printed up too many Cobalt sales brochures.
The real reason is that Americans are not quite ready to pay a lot for a compact car. Europe has been paying lots for compact cars for quite some time. Look for the compact car segment to be more of what the mid-size segment is today and for prices to climb quite a bit over the next two years.
