Youngstown gets excited for first Cobalts

There must be absolutely nothing going on these days in Youngstown, Ohio. That can be the only explanation for this puff piece on the first Chevrolet Cobalts arriving at local dealerships. For now only the four-door sedan is appearing in dealerships, the sportier coupe won't arrive for another month. Funny quote comes courtesy of local resident who says he's too old and too large to be a Cobalt buyer. I'm sure he was right in Chevy's target demographic too. One interesting quote was that fuel economy might be a big seller for this more upscale economy car. Does this mean Americans might start to sway towards driving smaller, better equipped cars? Doubtful.
