Good on gas. Practical. With some good M+S all seasons it'd be fine in the snow. It'd make a good first car for my nephew next spring. Explain to me how I've lost my mind.

I'm sure there is a redeeming value to that horrendously ugly vehicle.

It's a Cobalt wagon. Taking aesthetics out of the equation, what's actually wrong with it?

Not as reliable as a Honda, your nephew will get made fun of, its speeding ticket red, and its hideous.

Removed all the aesthetic stuff for you. So it's not reliable. Got anything to back that up? I've never heard anything bad about the EcoTec engines. The rest is basic GM electronics that I'm familiar with.
Also, the seats and load area fold completely flat.
Let's see who's laughing at him when he wants some alone time with a girl

I can't really argue against Jeff here.. for a practical car that can haul stuff (and as a beater) it isn't a terrible choice. Yeah it ain't got the looks of an Aston, but..

WTF does that have to do with reliability?
I don't have the time to dig up numbers right now, but I don't think the Civic outsold the GM Delta platform (Cobalt/Ion/G5/HHR) by nearly as much as you think it did.
Accord is a mid size car, so that's got nothing to do with this discussion. If I was talking about a Malibu or Fusion, then we could bring the Accord into this.
As far as my nephew goes, it was a joke. His social skills are nearly as poor as mine.

What does outsold have to do with reliability? Whoopie it sold a bunch...doesnt mean its worth a flip, prob just meant it was cheaper or had a better initial warranty.
I commend you for giving it to your nephew and wish I had the same offer when I was growing up and will take anything. I could have piled tons of stuff to go to college in that thing.
Just my personal preference. Mini van wanna be is not as good as a civic.
