Well this Miko dude is just full of crap, and that is sad for a person with his job description. The 2.4L SS (coupe and sedan) will be 172 hp and will be man. and auto trans!

 

i still dont see any info on chevy's site about the SS model. I would like to see what the production one has to offer, as far as whats standard and what options it has.

 

I don't think he is an idiot. He probably just mis-read the question and replied appropriately. He probably receives dozens of questions on the SS-Supercharged and just figured it was another question about that, I'm sure there are not many questions on the NON-Supercharged version.

Just chalk it up as a mistake for the individual, I'm sure he knows what he is talking about.

EDIT: Actually he seems very confused. He states production will start in July, but they're already on the lots. Maybe he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. Haha

 

I stand by what I said. After reading the questions and his reply, I say he does not know what the hell he is talking about!

 

Plus he said they will be in coupe AND sedan. Not the supercharged 205 HP ones.

 

So this means that their will be a cobalt ss sedan and coupe with a 2.4 Liter engine and a Cobalt ss supercharged coupe with a 2.0 Supercharged? I was just wondering because i was confused about it..

 

Do y'all think they will ever put forced induction on the 2.4L?

 

yes.
