@ Fearer, Almost like a WRX/STI or Evo type sedan? I'm sure that would definitely have a market, especially since mitsu has killed the evo off to focus on EV technology, lots of evo fans now have to go for a subaru, or nothing at all.. it's a niche market, but I'm sure they would welcome something new, especially considering how well the cobalt handled around a track and responded to mods.
@ 8cd03gro exactly, much like the above statements to Fearers idea, there are cult followings for this type of car, look at the Miata it is an autocross monster and has a large following partially because of that.
Even outside of the cult following market strategy, there are people out there that want a small, nimble car and to these people the 'vette is either out of the picture because of money, or size... because the vette may be nimble, but its not exactly small.
If this were to happen I'd like to see a coupe along side the roadster, because I'm not a big fan of roadsters to being with...
If they execute it right, it could very well obtain a cult following, hell if they took time to take it to the ring like they do a lot of their sportier cars now, tweak the turbo ecotec a bit, and try to keep the weight down it could even potentially compete with a lotus elise/exsige for a fraction of the price! Wouldn't THAT be cool?
Edit: Some people might not like the idea, but a car like this would persuade people who usually buy imports (the people who buy them for legitimate performance reasons... not the ricers) to consider a chevy, much like the Cobalt SS did in it's day.
