A compact is a car designed to be dirt cheap and economical, not a performance car IMO. i dunno. atleast its a s/c 4 banger and not the same v8 that everything is getting. i think its a performance car also cause it has alot of features that the other one does. suspension brakes, short shifter etc. there is more of a performance market than for a lumina. i realize im getting more caught up on the name than how the car performs. im sure its a good performing car but its just annoying to me that every model has a performacne version with that badge and that motor (or something similar) beastmode, no s/c Cobalt for 08. ---

But how much money is GM saving by using the same engine in every car they make? I bet it’s a lot. ---

nothing against GTOs, or anyone who owns one. from a corporate standpoint, they were a failure. the first year, they built 15 thousand or so, and sold lees than half of them. ---
