I like the Cobalt. It's a shame GM never put much faith in it as a SPORTS (vs. Economy) car ... more emphasis on SS (or hopped up like a GTO). It seems as though GM spends lots of R&D to come up with a new car model (and new name) ... then disposes of the product in a few years. Bummer!
My son was looking at a Cobalt SS in 2007 ... went with a MB C230 Sport (black / black / 6 speed) ... but the Cobalt SS would have been a nice choice as well!

Well the heads off still waiting on the machine shop to do some drilling and pressing!

I saw a Cruze sedan ... reminded me of a larger Yaris, albeit, with smoother GM lines. I'm just not a fan of small econo-boxes ... though I do like the lines and looks of the Cobalt Coupe (SS or no SS).

The I WHINE plate would be fitting for a lot of Vs as well...
The funny thing is that the turbo SS ran the 'ring only three seconds slower than the V1.

Hats off to you, for doing a task like that, at this time of year . . whew . .
