You are bidding on a blue, 2008, Chevrolet Cobalt, Special Edition model.  This is a very-good looking car and it performs just as well as it looks.  The car is a 2008 so it does have a couple of minor skuffs and minor dings on it, but overall it is in very, very good condition.  The car has been properly maintained on a regular basis, and any warranty work has been performed by the Chevrolet dealer at where I originally purchased the car---I am the original owner.  All maintenance has been performed to not only my high standards, but also to the State-Standards for this car was utilized in my driver education business.  This car has never been hit, nor has it ever been in any kind of accident---it is a very clean car both inside and out.  New Firestone FR-710 tires were put on the car at 89,000 miles and have a lot of tread-depth on them.  Please review the attached photographs and e-mail any questions that you have to me and I will do the best I can to accurately respond to them in a timely manner.  Should you want any additional or specific photos of the car, please e-mail me.  You can also come and see the car in-person (although I know that logistics can be an issue, so photos might be better in some cases).  Shipping costs will be the responsibility of the buyer, however I will assist the shipper in making the car convenient to pick-up.  Again, this is a 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt with 99,570 miles---so there will be the usual wear-and-tear that one would normally expect, but it is a very-clean, shiny, head-turning car, that has been kept in very, very good condition.  Thank you for viewing this listing and good luck with your bidding!

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
