Cobalt Z22 makes its mark
By Nauman Farooq
Chevrolet and the “Z” badge goes a long way back. It started out in the late 1960’s as an option code for the Camaro. The Z/28 package turned a humble pony car into a galloping horse.
So successful was the “Z” package, that Chevrolet later started offering the package as an additional trim package on some of their cars. Along with the Z/28, there was the Z34 Lumina, the Z34 Monte Carlo, and most recently the Z24 Cavalier.
Ever since Chevrolet replaced the Cavalier with the Cobalt in 2005, Chevy enthusiasts have been waiting for the next “Z” package.
Now the wait is over, a new “Z” package has arrived for the Cobalt coupe, and its called the Z22. However, unlike its predecessors, this “Z” is not a performance package. The new Z22 package is all about enhancing the cars looks.
So the new Z22 package includes a body-colored rear spoiler, chrome exterior package, fog lights in the front bumper, 16-inch aluminum wheels, and some “Wicked tattoos.”
These new tattoo style decals were designed with the collaboration of General Motors Quebec dealers and Cossette, an advertising and design agency. They have come up with three distinct design patterns that customers can choose from to have on their car.
These additions are an affordable way to make your car stand out from the rest. Chevrolet says, “this model aims at targeting younger consumers such as adults from 18 to 34 year old. It appeals to young men that care about their appearance and the look of their car.”
General Motors also says this new “sport” package is only offered for a limited time. So if you’re in the market for a sporty coupe with some added style at an affordable price ($109 bi-weekly payments on 72 month finance, with $0 down), drive over to your local Chevrolet dealer to find out more.
