Chevrolet ditched the Cobalt nameplate for U.S. customers but let it live in some other countries as a small-sized sedan for emerging countries.

In 2007, Chevrolet introduced a facelift for its existing small-class sedan, the Cobalt. It was a good moment for a budget car.

Despite its similar look to its predecessor, the 2008 Cobalt SS sedan was that kind of small, four-door vehicle with which you wouldn't mess around.

Chevrolet Cobalt replaced the Cavalier in 2004, and it was a compact sedan that dreamed big and offered little for its customers unless they were a rental company.
