The age-old battle between efficiency and performance comes to an end with the 2010 Chevy Cobalt. You get the most out of every gallon with Cobalt XFE, which gives you the BEST STANDARD HIGHWAY FUEL ECONOMY of any compact coupe or sedan — 37 MPG. Not only does XFE beat Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic and Ford Focus in standard highway fuel economy, it also offers more standard horsepower. If you prefer something with an extra kick, Cobalt SS Turbocharged Coupe has a 2.0L ECOTEC DOHC Turbocharged engine that turns out 260 HORSEPOWER, making it the MOST POWERFUL IN ITS CLASS. And it offers 30 MPG highway.

Chevy Cobalt. Now you can start passing more than traffic.

What Wikipeda says…

The Chevrolet Cobalt is a compact car introduced by Chevrolet in 2004 for the 2005 model year. The Cobalt replaced both the Cavalier and the Prizm as Chevrolet’s compact car.

It is available as both a coupe and sedan and is based upon the GM Delta platform also shared with the Chevrolet HHR, Pontiac G5, Astra and the Opel Zafira (a seven seat MPV). Also available is a high performance, Super Sport variant. All Cobalts are currently manufactured at GM’s Lordstown Assembly plant in Lordstown, Ohio. The United States Environmental Protection Agency? classifies the Cobalt as a subcompact car.

Starting in 2009, Chevrolet will launch the Cobalt’s global successor the Chevrolet Cruze (based on the new Delta II platform) in Europe with launches in other markets (including the US) to proceed in 2010. The Cruze will be built in multiple locations around the world including the Lordstown Assembly, at which the Cruze will briefly be built alongside the Cobalt until the latter is completely phased out. “The Cruze will build on the already successful Chevrolet Cobalt, Cobalt XFE and Cobalt SS, all of which are nearly sold out in dealer showrooms,” said GMNA vice president of Chevrolet Ed Peper. “Our dealers are asking for many more Cobalts than we can build.”
