Some will buy this car as a Small Family Car
only for looks. More power to them. They could benefit from a smaller V6 (no need for real power). The More-power V6 could benefit those who want oomf, without the oomf in the wallet. 6 cyllinders are cheaper in the insurance category. Then'll come the V8, and that's for...us
Plus, I can't see a 200hp V6 in a 3500+ car. The cobalt could Smoke it. NOT cool.
In a side-note, having my Dad's 2nd gen around reminds me, of how bad it was in the late-70's....GREAT CAR, but the "top-of the line" V8 he's got (Z28 in 1979), only pushes out 170-some horses...very sad.

In America we focus on raw horsepower to quote a European tv show host, so why would they design something with hardly any power what so ever? My 4 cylinder almost has that much power.

And I resent the Euros poking at us. I've never heard an American bash a Euro-car like they do to ours...
I think it's because we are better then them in many ways, that they become self-concious.
Even the Euro's can't make fun of the Z06...so I'll settle for that.
