NNNOOOooo...

This can't be happening! This can't be happening! Im completely off of GM FOREVER!!! Yeah, you heard me you heartless souless corpration! They screwed us GM lovers by killing off horsepower*, bastardizing muscle cars**, eliminating sportscars***, reintroducing old monikers with less than appealing power and styling**** and now it's the end of an era. The mutherfuckers are dropping the Cavalier from their lineup. The one car that has been the backbone of Chevrolet for some time is going to be retired to bring in new blood.

The Cavalier was underpowered ever since the redesign of the car back in 1994, when its sportier V6 engine was dropped due to the newer and smaller engine bay design of the Cavalier/ Sunfire. The sporty 4 cylander engine offered in the 1994-1999 models (of which I own the 1999 model) boosted horsepower from the base HP of 115, to a still underpowered 140hp. They illiminated the convertible model in 1999, and they eliminated the Sunfire 4 door sedan in 2002. The replacment for the Cavalier will be the new, and slightly simillarly modeled Cobalt. Cobalt, what the fuck is that? Yeah, I know its a rock, but lets look at the names... Impala, SSR, Corvette, Malibu, Lumina & Monte Carlo... COBALT DOESNT BELONG THERE!!!

Pardon me as I light a candle in rememberance of a line forever to go down in my books as one of the best out there.
