They've changed the highway mpg to 35. Fricking outstanding if attainable, and GM's usually are in my experiences. Check this out http://cobaltss.net/forums/showthread.php?t=120393

Its the same engine thats in the Solstice GXP, I believe. So there is your RWD 'vert, or soon to be coupe. Also, those engines are pretty much maxed out...you need a bigger turbo to make the magical 300 whp figure from what I've read at SolsticeForum.com.

mazdaspeed 3's are fun to drive..bro has one and I wouldn't mind it being a dd.

As far as the turbo cobalt, I hope that ain't the appearance package for the SS!! that is pathetic and they should remove the badges now and probably put a SE badge.

It definitely will be more exciting for some to drive since it's turbo but I don't like it

That one made 312 crank from a catback and tune, although they charge $1600 for both.

I noticed your sig, and congrats. Sick *** numbers.... You have seen the type of people I am refering too.. Loud BOV's, Big exhaust, and the car only does 15-16's at the track, but yet these asshats run around at 4000+ rpms like there POS stickered car is running in the Indy 500... Plain old annoying.

In the bigger picture, I am sick of how Chevy throws the SS badges around on all thier econo family cars now, and how people buy into it like they are getting some kind of muscle car. I guess it makes them feel better about picking the kids up from soccer practice.

Kinda JUST LIKE an asshat on a big leaky LOUD SLOW Harley....

If it's even running...

(I couldn't resist... easy pickins!)

A little off topic but i find it funny a stock 98 z28 will drag a 2009 Mustang GT.
at the end of the day it'll still be a cobalt

I would love to get one of these in a few years as a daily driver.
