It matters to us, because we are on a forum called CobaltSS.net and care about such matters... I'd hate to see the best FWD performance car GM's offered not have a successor. I don't remember because I was 13 years old, but I do believe back in 2004 LSJ cars were on dealer lots at the same time as base models.

How's the get up and go? I don't know if you have ridin' or driven a Passat GL, but it's a 1.8L turbo and I'm trying to convince my fiance to get one, but she's considering another Passat

i took the cruze out for a test drive...i thought my cobalt was noisy
nothing compared to cruze, you can hear the tires roll over a dime, excessive road noise can be heard, also the engine very noisy
you like enjoy it, me i give 2

Why do I have to own a Cruze to complain about it? I want to like this car, and for the most part I do... I just have high hopes that GM will build a coupe and a performance variant as well.

Your everyday driver who wants to get from point a to b don't care about performance like that.
Only thing I like better about the Cruze is the interior. Puts the Balts to shame.

i agree with this. except there is a tuner market and performance market so having a model of low production for them isnt a bad idea. Ford I think got the picture...they just released a Rally kit for the fiesta so everyday people can rally race their fiestas fairly cheap and I think it has some warranty with it.

but GM could have at least spent some more money in the marketing department for the ss/tc..
I found out about the ss/tc, when my gf went to buy her cobalt.. I was sitting in the showroom.. was bored picked up a brochure and I was like wtf? 260/260? LSD? Brembo?
Where the hell did this car come from, yes I have always been following car news.. but when ever I heard of the word cobalt I just pass on the article... thinking it would be like the ss/sc "no offence"
At least they are marketing the cruze, commericals, billboards.. tv shows etc..etc..

They lose money on every SS/TC they sell that the way it is with most domestic performance models. There just tools to get you into the dealership to buy that base model cobalt or V6 camaro.

My buddy is a salesman I beat the hell out of one it's comparable to a lt cobalt just a little bit faster. Its a great car for the price and I still might buy one. I have done a lot of research on them and have about 6 companies that want to work with me and make parts. Reality is it's a small engine your prob gonna be under 200 hp with full bolton's and tune. That's slow..
