Weird. Anyway, go to eBay Motors and look for a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt. It says "2006 Chevrolet Cobalt new with tags!"

...because it's going to cost you a brand new car!

Los Angeles Times = One of what I call the "Big Three" of the liberal media (New York Times and Washington Post being the other two. Liberal media = against American big business. So it's no surprise to me that they would bash GM and/or one of its brands.

I've been to several local Chevrolet dealerships and have seen a few HHR's and one or two Malibu Maxx SS's, but no Impala SS's, Malibu Sedan SS's or even Aveos.

Didn't the Achieva replace the Calais?

I thought Paolino was talking about steering wheels, but I could be wrong :unsure:

Actually, the 4-spoke design currently being used in the Cobalt, Pursuit and Ion is one of my favorites. :)

I'm not so sure. After all, when was the last time you said "Boy, that's a drop dead gorgeous minivan"? http://www.cheersandgears.com/public/style_emoticons//AH-HA_wink.gif

I believe the LeSabre started its run as the best selling full-sized car in the early 1990's, well before the Eighty Eight died in 1999.

The new one is so much better that it's hard to tell they're the same car. ;)

You mean late 1990's-early 2000's Chevrolet font? :P Chevrolet stopped using the "classic '80's GM font" in the late 1990's, although some of the older, outgoing GM models from other brands (i.e. Buick LeSabre, Pontiac Grand Am) still have it. After looking at the gauges on a 2006 Impala LS today, I don't see a whole lot of difference between the new font and the old one, although I wish they'd kept the 10 MPH increment (e.g. 10, 20, 30, etc.) instead of switching to the 20 MPH increment (20, 40, 60, 80, etc.)

Good point -- that is the the main way I can distinguish the non-cladded Avalanches from the crew cab Silveradoes at a distance :P

You mean the Joseph Abboud special edition? I preferred the regular emblem on the Regal myself. :P I liked the red, white and blue shields...in a sense, it added a patriotic touch to the logo, in the eyes of this American. http://www.cheersandgears.com/public/style_emoticons//AH-HA_wink.gif

LeSabre was the whole full-sized lineup? What about Park Avenue? That also survived until this year, you know :P

I would like to see the Pursuit come here...as the Pursuit, not the G4.
