It's alright but in the end it's still a Cavalier.

That's true, I appreciate Civic's more though haha, nah I lowered a Sunfire yesterday which is essentially the same car and it looked good, I guess it's all personal taste though.

Not bad. Personally never liked Cavaliers though. Just my opinion.

I never liked the way the inner and outer headlight on cavaliers look like they are two separate pieces. They probably ARE separate pieces, but the lines are not smooth.

I can appreciate a nicely done domestic, but if I saw that on the street I wouldn't give it a second glance. Doesn't seem to catch my eye for some reason

It is clean looking. Problem with those cars is the constant problems you have with GMC 4 cyl. engines after the first 50,000 miles. Long history of problems.

The ecotec engine is used on numerous pro FWD cars, with immense factory backing from GM. A supercharger option is available from dealers, as well.

But it's still a Cavalier lease:

I've known several people who have owned small domestics, such as cavaliers, sunbirds/sunfire and neon. They all say that they were crap.
Want proof? Just look at the crash test results for the cavalier/sunfire.
http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/NCAP/Cars/2001Cmpt.html

If you wreck it, there's a high likelyhood that you won't walk away, especially if you're hit in the side.

Want more proof?
http://www.autosafety.org/article.php?did=41&scid=46
"The reliability of GM's J-Cars is much worse than average. In fact, their reliability has been so poor that all but the 1995 Cavalier and Sunfire made Consumer Reports' list of "Used Cars to Avoid" since 1988."

Friends don't let friends drive domestics.

Theres nothing special about that car.. a drop, some wheels and cleared heads. Doesnt do it for me. I have seen some sweet ones at shows before though.

~nick~

p.s. Those cars are for people who want a civic but cant bring themselves to buying a foreign car

It looks okay. But like someone said, it's a Cavalier.

Besides, where I live, there are too many of those (Sunfires as well) around.

I dunno about the overall reliability of those cars, but I do know that Toyota had a hand in the development of those and the Malibus.
