I heard some people are paying 26,000 for non-SS cars too that seems way too much money for that car.

That said:

The most expensive thing you'll pay for in terms of repairs, upgrades, etc. with a car will be the purchase price. GM's offer low, domestic purchase prices. You have a large variety of service options, in or out of dealer, as opposed to VW, where, with my TDI, I can choose one of the three dealerships, and that's about all. With GM as well parts for domestics are usually cheaper.

Re: 06 chev cobalt

ya, and domestic styling is coming along pretty well...if theyd pick up the ball on the interior side of things Id convert (edit: in a select few cases)

a buddy put a deposit on the turbo'd saturn sky thats coming in october, 260hp...under 40k, and really not a bad looking car...(not that id buy one in 100 years, i would never buy a saturn...esp. a ~40k saturn!)

Re: 06 chev cobalt

After owning an domestic i dont think i would ever go back haha. They have gotten a bit better over the years, but still you find the cheap interior bits and pieces. And I've found the driving experience to be a bit detached on all the yank tanks I've driven. I think the only thing I'd get from GM would be a bad ass truck.

Re: 06 chev cobalt

My Saturn ('92 SL) was an absolute tank. A total hunk of crap, but I loved it - save for the electric seatbelts! I'd even bump shopping carts and little kids into it for fun to watch the dent resistant panels bounceback - that is, till it got cold and cracked.
