Unfortunately this is a view on the wrong side of history — always has been. Do people who said nothing about apartheid in South Africa ever get praised for not "dictating to another country what is socially acceptable?"

You'd also see an ad like this at most major stores — try the cosmetics counter. Hell, look at Times Square. Sex sells. Do you have a problem with all of this advertising (and walk through the malls and cities with your eyes closed) or only because it shows two men?

it's amazing that someone like you can read, let alone write. It's a good thing that bigots like you are losing ground everywhere.

You clearly have the high-ground here. Nothing I say in response can make me not seem like a dick.

I've always wondered why they ripped off the VW key...

Two points:

It's a matter of opinion. The new Ferraris don't sound as good to me as the older ones.

Yes that's dramatic. But the reality is, GM just didn't give a shit about a dangerous problem. That matters — or should.

It does seem like it. But I'd be wary of GM just because of what they showed about themselves in this whole issue.

$2k is negotiating room and still counts as "comparably priced." There's no way a skilled negotiator couldn't have gotten one of those two cars for close to the Cobalt's price.

Wrong generation vs Cobalt

Mk3 wasn't great and the Mk4 had some issues as well but was also very refined and fun in GLI guise.

I want so bad to love this, and if it comes to the US I'll be first in line at the dealer.

Great. I've driven a lot of those plus a fair amount of high-end German stuff.

I've driven a cobalt. First hand (not me reading this from a journalist) it couldn't touch the refinement or performance of the similarly-priced Mazda3.

I'd also never drive a corolla.

What's funny here is that I get out a good amount and drive a lot of different cars. Doing that is how you know GM makes garbage.

They bought bad cars the first time and they're going back to my more cars that are (charitably) sub-par.

It's not that they bought an inexpensive car — it's not even that when it was new they bought a sub-par inexpensive car.

Why not?
