Motortrend's 2008 Cobalt SS test drive

Motortrent was at the same event I posted about yesterday. Read the full article and hear what Ron Kiino from Motortrend had to say:

The interior, with its hard plastic accoutrements, still screams econocar, despite new seats with UltraLux suedelike inserts.

Yep, the interior is the same. The only upgrade is the seats.

Hey, they didnt bash the Balt much at all...

I really wish we new what the SS/SC times were on the "Ring"

I see the Turbo Balt is riding on 225/45, does anyone know if TC Balts wheels are the same width as ours?

-If so, I wonder if that would be a good size tire when my stockers get replaced?

I think the TC wheels are 7.5 inch wide. The SS/SC is 7 inch wide if I'm not mistaken. As for bashing, they did bash on the tranny which many think is the weak point. Guess only time will tell.
