I have no doubt the later Regal GS is a nicer driving, err cruising car;
but it was also a big step up in cost from the Cobalt/HHR - that price jump would be for niceties which I personally can do without.
It seemed like the period press was trying to tout the Regal GS in all the same ways that it did with the Cobalt SS.
If you haven't compared the two, there is a worlds difference between the supercharged cars, and turbocharged cars - which is why the turbo car held the Nurburgring record for it's class for something like ten years...
