This is a prototype spotted of the 2010 Chevy Cobalt.

Although it's hard to see them, but is it just me or do the headlights look like they're from an accord (second pic is an accord)?
I think it is a well needed improvement in looks over the current 4 door, but i think it's a little bland. Anyway I cant wait to see what they'll come up with for the coupe.
So what do you guys think?

The current Cobalt is pretty bland as it is, so I think it's a vast improvement. The new one looks to have a bit of a Volt look up front, and I like it quite a bit. In these camo'd spy shots, you can see some of the taillamps, and it looks like it's going to have a pretty sharp tail.

I never liked the sedan for its sportiness, but it does functionally serve the purpose of competing with other bland cars that are intended to appeal to everyone, like the Honda Civic, the Hyundai Elantra, and the Toyota Camry. I like the headlights, although I think they don't look new or sporty enough. They should color-match the chrome around the lights to the car for a little more sports appeal.

It doesn't look bad, but I prefer the looks of my current Cobalt Sedan. The new one looks just like any other 4 door sedan. The current one definetly has its own look. But that is just my own opinion, plus I am biased.

It looks identical to a '08 Accord headlamp.

That looks a lot like the accord's new headlamps don't you think?

As long as it doesn't get heavier - I like the design. It just looks kinda big. But I know enough by now to realize that pictures don't show proper 'size' unless taken with a another car as comparison. So I hold judgement.

I still like my car.

I hope it doesn't have 08 Accord style headlamps. Yeash. I'm not a fan of the current sedan's styling. I personally consider this a massive leap forward. The real story will have to be the interior, because that is clearly the current model's weak point.

I will agree with you there.
