In China it’s the Monza and in Mexico it’s a Cavalier. Optional engine is the 1.4L turbo 3 engine.

I don't think the Cavalier name had as bad a reputation as GM thought. They were actually good little cars for the money, and very easy to work on.

Now for the Cobalt, yeah it was a dud. I don't know what it was about those, but they didn't hold up as well.

I wish Cavalier was still around as a new car. The name, I don't know, I think that was more the chattering masses.

If someone asks me what the overall best car I've owned have been regardless of manufacturer the two Cavaliers would likely be my answer. Having said that, except for the one that was totaled, each of the several Tauruses went to 250K (one now, actually a 2005 Sable, is at 200K).

I had an 84 Buick Skyhawk with 2.0L and a 1994 Cavalier RS sedan. Liked the efficiency of the design for DIY maintenance and passenger/cargo for a vehicle this size. While critics downplayed the push rod 4 cylinders, one advantage was the torque came in at lower RPMs making for a smoother acceleration off the line.
