Yup, it's the fastest FF car in the world. It beats the 350Z along with many other "track cars" around the Nurburgring. It's beating it's competition in most of the reviews.

The problem is that is the low volume seller. The regular Cobalt isn't up to par with the competition. GM has great performance cars, but they need the improvements to trickle down to the 'normal' cars.

It's happened in the CTS. The CTS-V is getting amazing reviews, even Jeremy Clarkson a notorious American car hater said the CTS-V is better than the M5 (which costs significatnly more). The base CTS is getting amazing reviews as well, and having drive one as a rental, it's definitely the best American car I've ever been in. The interior would shock you.

Unfortunately it looks like they might be too late. Pity.
