My parents' new car....

SVT666 · May 28, 2007, 11:08:24 AM

.....will be a 2007 Chevy Cobalt SS in that burnt orange/copper colour. My mom called me after they got home and said, "I love it. What do you think of it?". Yeah, she's pretty much in love with the car and my dad is going along with it. He'd rather have a Mustang, but my mom will be driving it most of the time. It stickers for $29,500 CDN and she got them down to $24,000.

SS Supercharged or just SS? Either way it's a decently fun little car.

Raghavan · May 28, 2007, 01:11:27 PM

Congrats to them.
Manual or auto?

SVT666 · May 28, 2007, 01:18:09 PM

SS supercharged with a manual.

Raza · May 28, 2007, 01:20:47 PM

Oh, that's really nice. When can I drive it?

Whew, I was going to say "$24,000 for an SS?! HA HAHAHAHAHAHA! PWNT!"

But now it makes sense.

My parents are going to drive Camries into their retirement, and then they'll buy Lexus GS/LS models.

Isn't that a good thing? Sometimes you're a Camry troll and other times you're an anti-Camry troll...

It's loaded up with virtually every option too. I told them I think they should try and get another $1000 knocked off the price and even if they don't give it to them, they should take it.

Yeah, they certainly don't act their age. They're both 54 and have a grandchild.

I love Camries, but I would like a change for once.

I drove an Intrepid for a year, I'm going back. Of course neither car was my choice

Awesome car, and that is probably the color I would get as well. I was at a stoplight against one the other day, and revved at him, as I knew he would go for it. It's got a great sounding exhaust note, rather deep for a 4 banger. I wish my car sounded a bit more like that.
