55 Cobalt SS S/C Pictures!!

<img src="https://www.cobaltss.net/articles/55ss.jpg" align="left" border="0" hspace="5" vspace="2"><b>PHOENIX</b> - Well I went to Courtesy Chevrolet today in Phoenix, AZ to take a look at the Victory red Cobalt they had. Wow. That's all I can say. Feel free to ask me any questions...the car was amazing. These are links to High Resolution 4mp pictures. I went out and bought .mac today for $99 just so I could host these. Hope you all like them! Gallery#1 is exterior pics and has 27 pictures. Gallery#2 is Interior pics and oddly enough 27 pictures as well. So that really adds up to 54 pictures but I deleted one and 55 sounds so much better. Here's the main menu, cheers vendian:

ALL THE IMAGES HAVE NOW BEEN WATERMARKED...BROWSE AT WILL!!!

From the looks of it you may be able to navigate to the other gallery at the top of the page. All you guys need to know is that that car is awesome...

No I don't know who bought it, and I did try to answer a ton of questions I had heard people talking about. I tried to take pictures of all the things that people were wondering about. The coin thing on the side of the steering wheel, the middle armrest, the front of the car shot from a low angle, the exhaust being chrome, the rear-wing, etc.

I found out about the battery being in the trunk awhile ago so I knew to look for it. I don't know **** about car stereo, but I knew that would be easier to wire with it back there...so that's pretty cool. I thought that pioneer speaker in the trunk was pretty big stock as it is too. I hope it's not some option.

The Pioneer 10" sub is standard with the SS/SC

Acutally they didn't really care. There were some people looking at me weird that were buying cars but the salesmen were playing basketball in the corner. Talk about salespeople overkill. There were like another 15 in the parking lot in groups. I think the guy was a little dissapointed when I got out telling him I wanted to see the SS S/C. He just lead us to the door and left, lol. So all in all it was cool. I just took out my camera the second I got there and went at it. P.S. thanks for putting this on the front page.

I've encountered a few bored-looking salesmen at dealerships before, but I've never seen a salesman basketball game

cool i didn't know the battery was in the truck on the Cobalt, i know the battery is in the truck on the Red Line quad coupe and there is another ternimal under the hood, so u can boost your car from either side. Those are great pics, thanks a lot, can't wait to take one out and test drive it, not that it matters, i'm buying one anyways

What's up with the horizontal grille up front and the mesh in the back? Hope mine doesn't get this treatment.

These are truely awesome pictures thanx so much.

  1. I like the placement of the antenna, *BEHIND* the sunroof.
  2. I like how they didn't cover up the engine with some cheesy cover like GM has been with some cars.
  3. The driving lights (sometimes called fog lights, but they aren't yellow) look sweet, good placement IMO.
  4. The interior control look super cheap for a 20k car. the controls on my S10 look nicers and thats not saying much. The heater knobs look really cheap. I am dissapointed with that.
  5. The plastic ebrake control looks even cheaper. That plastic weld line right down the top of it is fugly.
  6. The dash as a whole looks good but that silver plastic molding sucks.
  7. The gauge cluster looks nice. I am curious to what the driver info center looks like. I will miss the temp, oil, battery guages
  8. The steering wheel with all the controls will be cool, never had that in a car b4.
  9. Mirror with map lights also good.
All in all I wish they didn't cheap out on the controls, silver plastic dash thingy. Otherwise I think it's gonna be a great car. Love the outside.

Vendain again good job with the pictures they look great.

As for the antenna that's the XM satellite antenna behind the sunroof. The normal antenna is on the back rear quarter panel on the right hand side. If you look at the pictures of the rear of the car you can see it. I was digging through the instructions in the glove box and noticed the car had XM. So the regular antenna is just that long one. Just in case you didn't notice.

Ive never seen the XM radio antenna on the front of the roof, always on the back and thats how the SS/SC will be, weird.

There is no XM radio in Canada (yet) so they just use the antenna for onstar. Maybe that has something to do with it. Also, the Sunburst SS in Canada belongs to GM so it could be a pre-production/pilot.
