I could see the Cobalt on the worst. Not saying it is the worst, there are worse cars (coughSUBARUcough) but to each their own.

funny you should say subarus suck. I looked at buying a wrx before I got my HHR (wife hated the looks of the subie) I have several friends that have them and run the snot out of them with no problems. Compared to the SRT4 I had, the wrx is built like a tank, but then again, the SRT4 is a dodge

Cool

I owned a 2002 Cavalier for 4+ years, and a lot of people considered that to be a poor car. I thought it was GREAT. A lot of the people who write these stories, in my opinion, are anti-Americans who are paid off by foreign owned auto companies...I drive, & LOVE AMERICAN automobiles!!!

Well, being a Ford Dealers's daughter, we bought our first Chevrolet and Dodge this year. Went to the dealership, saw a bunch of plain vanilla cars, told them I woulda bought if I had ANY inkling of interest. They just told me to write to Ford, that even THEY thought they were making boring cars. I thought that was funny.
