IMO GM just sucks in the wheel gap department, it just needs to be a tad bit lower… the interior looks nice though

Right but what i’m saying is keep it looking like that not change shit liek they did on the SSR, the SSR looks like shit compared to the auto show debut of it. They will probably do the same thing to the cobalt which is due out the end of this year…
