I have to agree with Northstar, all the delta's should at least offer it.
Simply put, if they try to have a battle out with the Civic, no matter what they
do, GM WILL lose. And that is the cold, hard, facts.
If GM can't beat them in the game, then they should do something different.
The Cobalt ( and more so, ION) need to grab some cred with everyone they
can.
If you think they should just stick with only trying to improve the Balt',
look no farther the Neon to see where things are headed. Glad to see DC realized
that too...
Neither the Subie or MItsu are great cars be any means( when compared to the
Civic and Corolla), but with top car creds with both street and rally people,
people look past the stupid things that others tear though GM car line.
Think a Cavalier would even survive a rally event? :unsure:
Just fit and finish and trying to match the best won't cut it anymore.
If the Cobalt wants to build on its sucesses, it needs to be both different,
improved, and maybe even a little cool. B)
If AWD will help it get there, by all means put it in there.
Chances are good it would add to sales anyways, considering Gm sells quite
a few Vibe and Nox AWD models in those rough patches around here.

Whew!
