ikk that front bumper looks warped or something. Looks like its made out of cheap plastic from a toy truck or something. I'm definately not digging that front end. I don't like they ac vent looking front ends at all.

It's horrible if you ask me.... what was CHEVY thinking with putting that rear end on there. I'm sorry but that rear end would look better on the BIGGER cars not the little cavilier.


off the subject and a POINT TO PONDER.
why is it "OK" in everyone else's eyes to MOD a cavilier but we're stupid for trying to mod a saturn????? I don't get it, our cars are just as fast as the cavy's and they look sporty, actually i think s series saturns look sportier then the cavilier. Can someone explain that to me?

Because the cavy is a chevy and carries the chevy rep for strong fast cars im guessing.SInce Sattys dont have any real rep people dont respect the car but that's changed bit by bit with every one of us that tunes the car to go quick. I know I've schooled a few people in my town. As far as the looks I don't think the new cavy is a bad looking car with the exception of that back end. When the new vetts (We're up to C6 now right?) Anyways when that came out the rear end didnt look finished like it was a rush job and most people hated it. Guess they had the same people designing the rear end for thie cavy.

Hmmmmm well yeah uh I cant say ive ever seen a modded hyundai but im sure dude in the modded hyundai gets laughed at. Unless it's the tiburon that is. The tiberon i believe has a higher hp rating of 140 hp and like it or not the 20 hp makes a big difference in consumers eyes especially if they dont grasp the power to weight thing. ANyone know what they weight in at? Hyundai has been around for a while and at first had a crappy rep. The tiberon got chuckles and giggles when it first came out but slowly it has been evolving into something a few people respect. People that have no clue still laugh at it but ive seen them autocross and there great cars, sure would like to line up against one at the track to see how it compares. Another thing you might take into consideration is it's hard for people that dont know to respect a rolling piece of tupperware which is basically what our cars are but thats also what makes them faster than people expect.As far as saturn being around before hyundai, id almost be posotive in saying your wrong on that. If saturn was around before hyundai it was just barely.

In the end emily all we can do is rough this out and show people one by one what we already know. Saturns are great cars that have more to offer than most people can understand. I love my car, you love your car and everyoner here loves there car except when something breaks Screw all the nay sayers and point and laugh as you wiz by that mustang making him take his "sports car" back and ***** slap the salesman for selling him something that got stomped by a lowly saturn

Yup, still looks like a Cavalier to me. Big whoop-de-doo. You'd think that after almost 10 years with that body style they'd do something a little more major, like make a decent car out of it.

Chevy went "El Cheapo" on the cav ever since they changed it to it's current body style. I liked the way they were built and the way they looked when they were boxier personally.

Don't forget that Toyota makes the Cavalier in Japan, which explains why there's a bunch of body kits available for it, including the BOMEX kit, which you can only get from Japan. Like it or not, other than the Neon, they have the most parts for a domestic car, and look damn good when done up..if I had the '03, the rear would be the first thing to get shaved!!!
