The 2.4L needs a different name!!!

When I saw the name of this video on streetfire I though it was a SS/SC, but soon realized otherwise

I like how the dude in the altima just kept repeating himself like a broken record. He thought he just beat a supercharged SS

i think sport would be the best choice. It would seperate it from the pack, and let it each model stand on its own.

i mean, i dont wanna knock the 2.4 cuz its still pretty powerful and has a lot of potential, but it shouldn't have the ss badge on it. But i must say that a 2.4 has more of a right to have a ss badge on it than a ****** malibu.

The V6 Altimas haul ASS. My girlfriends brother has one and I detailed it a few weeks ago. I pulled on my friends LT-1 T/A on the highway. I let off at 120 and it was still pulling hard. I'm gonna say harder than the SS/SC ive driven.

Aren't there already about three or four 10-15 page threads about this "SS" issue already? I looked up "dead horse" on wikipedia and it linked me here.

I suggest calling someone who cares. My suggestion would be bob_lutz@gm.com

newer altima 3.5s would smoke a g5... they're a good matchup for a stock ss/sc with a good driver

i would love to agree, but, the malibu ss will beat the cobalt 2.4 in a race, is more comfortable, etc... a stock malibu ss would beat a stock cobalt 2.4 hands down... so why shouldn'it it have it? it's just a marketing ploy, nothing else really... they have to apeal to the people that want a lil pep in their step, but also have a family... it's smart marketing from an overall point of view... purists wouldn't like it, but the everyday man would

The Name plate Malibu deserves the SS badge more then any other Chevy car(except maybe the impala), its got alot of heritage with the SS badges...its just this model isn't exactly living up to what a Malibu SS was

Oh look someone else who sees a dead horse!

And if you want to talk about heritage and what cars deserve the SS then NO COBALTS do!
As for the SS 2.4 being slow and not deserving I would direct your attention to... http://www.bestluxurycoupe.com/1985c...ontecarlo.html
check out the blistering performance numbers that thing put down and noone said it shouldn't be called an SS cause its slow.

But I'm all for puting 2.4SS on the trunk lid.
