Chevy Cobalt

[AllanY2525]

I would like a U.S. car company make a reasonably priced small car that gets about 40 to 50 miles per gallon.

If GM would make the Cobalt (or any other compact model of the same approximate size and weight)
available as a HYBRID, it would easily get 40 miles per gallon, maybe even more.   From the advertisements
I have seen on TV, it seems that Toyota and Honda are still leading the U.S. automotive market in terms of
how many models are available as hybrids.

If the American car makers want to retain their share of the market, I think they should make more hybrids
available across their entire offering of cars, minivans, light trucks and SUVs.

Always take what you find at wikipedia with a grain of salt.  But, their article states

GM is considering moving production to Belgium in 2009 when the Cobalt is due for a redesign for the 2010 model year in a cost-cutting move.

But...

A new deal is currently being discussed to keep production in Lordstown

In a news story on the radio today, it was mentioned that the Chevy Cobalt production at Lordstown would end in about four years.  Does GM intend to move the production of the Cobalt to another factory or will they discontinue the Cobalt altogether?
