2008 Chevy Cobalt SS. 2.0 turbocharged ecotec, same engine as in the Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice. It churns out a massive 260hp 260 lb/ft and laps the ring faster than an r32 skyline. AND has a 4 door option. New G8's are pretty fucking badass too but I don't know how much they are going for. FUCK YEAH USA Coupe: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FullTests/articleId=125288 Sedan: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=125468 Ring time +/- a few other cars: 8:13 BMW M5 E60 507 PS Horst von Saurma Sport Auto 12/04 8:13 Ferrari 355 GTB Sport Auto 10/1994 8:22* Chevrolet Cobalt SS 2008 2.0 Turbo *manufacturer claim. 8:22 Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 280 PS/1430 kg Motoharu Kurosawa Best Motoring Video Special DVD 8:22 BMW M3 E46 343 PS/1584 kg Horst von Saurma Sport Auto 12/00 Also, just read your last blog and I just want to say I drive a mazda 3 hatch. It fucking rocks. The stock tires kind of suck and the ride is definitely bumpier than the civic or corolla due to the 17" rims and shitty tires buuuuut. I love the way it looks and feels. It is definitely the best bargain in it's class, the only thing I'm worrying about right now is the gas mileage because I just broke it in and am starting to drive at faster highway speeds 70-75 the MPG return is not very good. Then again I just started driving fast while keeping it below 65 during break in period anyway, so it should improve. | ||

I can see why it is desirable though. Glad to hear you like the mazda3. You know what bugs me though? I've been keeping my eyes open and I've seen about 7 on the road the past few days... and all 7 were driven by women... wtf? | ||

Dunno, the 3 is kind of cute in a sort of of way, but it's also based off the C1 platform which the Euro Focus and Volvo s60(?) rides on so it's sexy as well. BUT according to some gay site the car with the most umber of gay drivers is the VW Rabbit. I'm not making that up either. I'm really not. | ||

Well, yeah. As an American you no doubt know the Mustang has quite a heritage and the V6 version is widely regarded as untrue to it. The stereotype is that daddy wants to buy a cool car for his rich spoiled brat of a daughter but doesn't want to spend too much. So he opts for the Mustang - but it's a V6, because a | ||

It might be that they are far from enthusiasts, but I'm not too worried tbh. There's a difference between a car that kinda has a 'daughter' attachment to it and a car that is statistically proven to be driven by 0 men. | ||

However, any sporty/newish car will appeal to almost all women since they really don't know shit about automobiles so it doesn't really matter unless you're concerned about what other dudes will think of you ( I doubt you do). here's a few cars that I think are pretty nice http://www.ford.com/vehicles/vehicle-showroom#/ford/ford-fusion-2008 http://www.ford.com/vehicles/vehicle-showroom#/lincoln/lincoln-mkz-2008 http://www.ford.com/vehicles/vehicle-showroom#/mazda/mazda-rx-8-2008 pontiac g6 solstice saturn sky | ||
