CHEVROLETCavalier Coupe 1994 - 2003

　　When Chevrolet tried to make an econobox, sporty vehicle, it came with this: the 1994 Cavalier, one of the most affordable coupes on the market.

　　The Cavalier was available in three body shapes: coupe, convertible, and four-door sedan. The coupe was built to compete against the Honda Civic and Dodge Neon and received an Asian-European styling while keeping the same plastic interior as any other Chevrolet from that era.

　　Its rounded lines and swept-back headlights looked fresh on the market. The arched roofline and sloped rear window made the car looks sporty. In the back, its taillights were spread across the quarter panels and the trunk. Chevrolet offered the car with a standard set of steel wheels, which looked too small and lost under the wheel-arches, but offered bigger alloys with wider tires on the options list.

　　Inside, the carmaker installed a curved shape for the instrument cluster that went on to the center stack. Its four-dials instrument panel featured a center-mounted speedometer with the tachometer on the right. The rear seats were good for two not-so-grown adults, as long as the front occupants didn't have to move their seats all the way to the back.

　　Under the hood, Chevrolet installed a 2.2-liter gasoline engine provided by Opel and detuned for the U.S. market to comply with the emission tests. For the Z24 version, it installed a 2.4-liter unit that provided more power and torque than its main rival, the Dodge Neon.
