If you want chicks to think you make $8/hr and live with your parents, then get the Cobalt.

If I buy the Cobalt, it won't be a SS. If I do end up buying a Cobalt, it would be strictly for MPG. But, MPG doesn't really mean much to me right now considering I get ~16 out of the Camaro and the same for my 2000 Silverado.

Basically, save money on gas or have a pickup truck for muddin, hauling stuff, etc. Hard choice for me lol.

The Truck is in my name but the Camaro is in my parents name. The Camaro was a graduation gift, and a late one I might add lol. But I really might just toss a coin because I really can't decide...

If you do go with a silverado, get the new body style. But, really take a look at a denali sierra, first.

Vastly superior? Guess you never owned a Cobalt SS/SC. Speak for yourself, chum, although he did say he wouldn't be getting an SS. If you aren't getting a Cobalt SS, then I'd probably get the Silverado.

Hey, if you wanted a Cobalt for MPG, consider the Supercharger is giving you free power on demand, although only the new Cobalt SS's have a Turbocharger. I love my 2006 SS/SC. Even with the Stage 2 Upgrade to 250HP, I STILL get 33MPG's on the highway, so if you do a Cobalt, you'll get what you want out of an SS. Fastest gas-sipping, front wheel drive car on America. I promise you won't get bored with it.

In terms of quality, design, and fuel economy, the Cruze truly is a vastly superior car than the Cobalt.

Think of it like this, two cars, or a car and a truck.

If you go mudding in your new truck, you've killed the whole reason you got it. I, too, like the function of a big hauler; however, I'm not going to get a truck. I have no need to haul anything besides groceries, and those fit in a car. You want efficiency, so forget the Cobalt. Get an Aveo.

Silverado, as much as i loved my 07 Cobalt SS SC... you said you won't be getting one so you might as well get the truck.
