Evo X in the 2008 C&D Lightning Lap
http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...re+page-9.html
Car and Driver has not posted the full article, but you can still determine some tidbits from this teaser. It looks like the Cobalt SS gave the Evo X some hassling, and that the 135i was slower around VIR than the Evo.
Have fun!

Couldn't be far from the truth. My girl has a Cobalt loaner car right now while her car's being fixed. Talk about cheap. Build material and quality of this car makes the Evo X look like a friggin Mercedes Benz.
Interior is just flat out atrocious. I've seen better plastic material on a gallon of milk.

But it'll tear most cars up on the street... and for a fraction of the price.

Might want to see it in person before you make that judgement. We've had the cobalt loaner for about a week now. I know it gets awesome gas mileage and we really should be putting miles on it vs the Evo...but I cannot get over the entire car. Mind you it's not an SS...but still. Car reaks cheap.

Yeah, if you can get over the embarrassment of driving one. Thanks but no thanks. The Evo X was a bit of a far stretch for me. I wanted to look like somewhat of an adult thus I went with the X vs. IX.
I like performance as much as the next guy but there are limitations on what I am willing to drive/purchase. Cobalt SS might've been cool for me at age 17 but those days have been long and over with.
You are what you drive...you can't put a price on that.

That said, I wouldn't drive a Cobalt (SS or super rocket ship edition) either! Nor would I drive an SRT4 Neon
You don't have to like em, just respect them for what they are

No offense (which I know implies offensive material coming), but this is a very Dallas mentality...

No problem. I agree with you.
