<<I've only ever seen, like FIVE Cobalts on the road since they came out in '05 or whatever.>.
That's because all the Cobalts are sitting on dealer lots since nobody wants them.
When the Cobalt first came out it got good reviews from all the auto publications, and I figured that GM had finally gotten it right. Then, after a few months, the Cobalt was NEVER mentioned and I realized what happened - the auto reviewers were so blown away that the Cobalt was lightyears ahead of the Cavalier that they gave praise. But once they actually compared it to REAL quality imports like the Civic the Cobalt, like all American cars, came up lacking in every area.
So it's just same old, same old at General Motors. have accountants build you a mediocre car and then use "buy American" as your only unique selling point.
I'll agree that the Cobalt would be a better choice than the Caliber, but your comment that even VW makes a better small car is just plain funny! Go read the Volkswagen reviews and you'll see what I mean!
