I guess you didn't like that the Cobalt was considered the worst GM car ever built (see Watch: The Long, Troubled History of the Chevy Cobalt).
Got a tip for us?

Well - 2 things.
First, the car has been nothing but good to me. And - no ignition problems.
Second, the cobalt, and the SS are two very different cars. Different engine, clutch, tranny, suspension, etc etc etc.
Im getting rid of it because I live in a snowy area and I want AWD, and more powahhhh.
I agree. I always look for a spot where no one can park next to me, even if that means walking a lot further.
Oh, here's the exterior.
As for the lights, took the picture a few hours before we started shooting. (As in film. Not people. Geez....)
This time my daily driver tried had to step in and act as as a unmarked cop car in a short film "the kids" were shooting.

new wrx?
Bmw f13
Originally had my heart set on changing my BMW E92 for the new F32 but when I saw photos of the production car I did not like it as much as I thought I would so I got an F13 instead.
Very different to the E92 but ultimately a fearsomely impractical car. It is huge but can only seat two people comfortably (has rear seats but even Tyrion Lannister would have problems with legroom). And while every now and then it was fun to switch off the DSC in the E92 and drift it around an empty roundabout during the witching hour, I have not and would not dream of doing that with the F13. It is a very pretty car though which is all the reason to buy one.

Your pictures make me miss SD so much. I live in LA right now for school and it's so different. Anyway, nice civic. I'm in the process of getting a new car myself since I couldn't handle a stick shift (new driver problems lol). I'm thinking of getting either this 2012 ford fiesta or something else. Only 33K miles for $9,999. Not bad at all.

Don't tell me you don't like the smog, busy life, and traffic...
I really do miss driving stick... but if I lived in LA, I would consider an automatic. My wife will probably take over the civic, which is my main reason I got a 4 door automatic. Hopefully someday... I'll get a chance to buy a car when I am ready, and get the mid-life crysis car I always dreamed of... LOL... Anyhow, good luck on your car shopping... you are only a couple hours away from SD.
new wrx?
On my list of options of COURSE! Haha. STI would be great, but I have a 45 min commute. lol.
Also on the list is the MK4 R32 - always loved it. Always wanted one. Also, an 08 XT Sports, dropped on WRX springs and some upgrades.
So many choices.

I mean... LA isn't bad lol, I'm just used to San Diego. I hate the traffic and smog everyday lol. It's horrible. I'm kind of glad that I don't have a stick shift in LA because as you know the traffic is horrendous. I swear I would have leg cramps everyday.

A nice Audi S4 should fit the bill
They sound great, the car has 1400 miles on it right now so I don't know how much/if they've gotten much louder, maybe just a tad. Sounds great!
Very nice pictures. I love Saab cars, always did, classy and stylish and understated, and was appalled when the company got into financial difficulties a few years ago.
I have heard that they are back in production? If that is true, I am delighted.
Okay, I'll readily admit it. To myself. While I would never actually buy such a car, I will allow myself a quiet moment of unabashed motoring lust.
Lovely vehicle.

Agreed, the Honda Civic is an excellent car; stylish, very well made, and utterly reliable. My dad had one almost 30 years ago and we all loved it.
A few years ago? Saab hasn't made any profit since GM bought it in -89. They've sucked every last penny from the company and invested nothing. Saab has been in pseudo-bankruptcy since the mid 90's. Sure the yanks are best in the world at creative accounting but that doesn't change the fact that no company can survive 20 years of mismanagement. I'm surprised Saab lasted as long as it did.
As for the new Saab. Yes, they're back in production. The MY12 9-3 was slightly updated with a redesigned interior, a 9-5 Turbo4 engine and a heap of other modifications.
I took this pic just before my test drive last week. I'll probably buy one later this year.
