A lot of talk about the Cobalt being the "Cavalier replacement" has me wondering. The more specs I see, and the more I read about Chevy trying to push the Cobalt "upscale", the more it looks to me like a Corsica/Beretta replacement. The current Cavalier has a "1SV" value package offered at almost 10,000 dollars, on an ancient "value" platform, and is much more of a cheap, plastic fantastic car compared to what I saw at the auto show. After seeing the Cobalt SS in person, I'd have to say that the dimensions, power and suggested pricing left me with the impression of a Beretta.
Sure, it may be replacing the factory lines of the Cavalier, but I'm not so sure it is replacing the Cavalier in either price, prestige, or status in the GM lineup.
What say you?
