Re: Whats everyone think about these new cars?

Out of the ones you showed, the Accord would be the only one I would consider.

Re: Whats everyone think about these new cars?

As the former owner of a 95 and a 99 Accord coupe, I'm terribly disappointed with the styling of the 08. From the side, it's OK; front is, meh; but the rear, gadzooks, it has an ass the size of Albuquerque.

I'm sure it's a good car, but I hate the gigantic ass. I'd choose a Malibu over the Accord on looks alone.

Re: Whats everyone think about these new cars?

Not to go against the flow or anything... but the Accord would be the only one that wouldn't even be an option for me. If anything, I'd personally have to choose between the Caliber and the HHR.

Re: Whats everyone think about these new cars?

For some reason I really like the look of that HHR. It looks like they've done a few tweaks to it and it is really much more eye catching than the older ones. The Caliber looks great. Very mean and agressive. However, if I'm going to get a car that claims to be sporty by any measure it had better have a v8.

Re: Whats everyone think about these new cars?

I actually like them all, even though the Cobalt is still a trademark Cavalier...

Re: Whats everyone think about these new cars?

#1- Accord EX-L V6 Coupe
It's the biggest, most mature, most luxurious of the three.

#2- Cobalt SS
I like sports coupes, and this is arguably the fastest one on the market, for '09.

#3- HHR SS.
Like the Cobalt, but as a throwbackish, slightly feminine wagon.

#4- Caliber SRT-4.
Like the HHR, a smallish wagon, but it's too rude, too crude for me.

Re: Whats everyone think about these new cars?

Out of just these cars, I might go with the Cobalt SS because its an amazing price/performance bang for the buck. The new spoiler is much more mature, and there's room to haggle.

Otherwise, a used G35 coupe would be the best way to spend your money on a fun car.
