Here's the email I recived today...


rallyracer,
Thanks for the follow up. In response to your question, here is some info to share with the masses.

The RPD is approved and is listed in the 2009 Cobalt SS and HHR SS dealer preview information. It is available for order as regular production option UAF for the Cobalt Coupe SS and all HHR SSs. We do not have any information on the wheels at this time, but we are still working on them.

Stay tuned on the wheels. We also have some enhancements in the works for the interface on the sound system... Stay in "tune" with your local dealer.

I hope the Cobalt Enthusiasts are starting to see the Turbo's in the dealerships this month. I just returned from HOT ROD Magazine Power Tour (Seven cities in seven days) and got some serious seat time in the SS Turbo... What a blast. It was great to drive and held it's own against some of the V8 beef that we brought along.

Best Regards,

first might wanna let some of know what RPD is. I assume its that display thingy but other may not.

 

Will the display be an aftermarket option?

 

Sweet!!!!!

 

awesome great work
o and thank you ghost gm people

 

Thanks...

I updated the first post.


It is available for order as regular production option...Im not sure about aftermarket options.

bump

 

we need prices

 

no word on other cobalt compatibility?

 

I was looking through the ordering guide and I noticed that the RPD is only going to be available in the SS/T Coupe, not the sedan.

 

Will the RPD be availbale for the SS/SC?

 

I didn't see any info on that. I wonder if you could just order it by part number and install it...

 

Well I read the thread that Rally linked for the RPD and it said it would cost over $500 to buy it for the SS/SC, so Im assuming there is atleast a thought of being able to have it for the SS/SC

 

Any updates about the black wheels option yet? And does anyone know if they are going to offer summit white in 09' on the ss/tc?

 

Well if it plugs into the obd2 port like it sounds like its going to...then it would probably work with all cobalts. at least partially compatable anyways

 

bump...anyone know.....my dealership didnt know sh*t except that the RPD is available and we already knew that....

 

its not using the OBD2 ports, its using a few GMLAN connections (which still may be part of the OBD2 system, but its not coming off the port itself)

 

The rpd is going to be $295 usd.

The bg wheels were a test thing so it's a good chance they won't make it to production.

Also, they are trying to make a cost effective upgrade for the sc but that will also be something for later.

 

295 $ as an option or aftermarket for other balts

?????

 

$295 for factory option for '09's

 

absolutely yes on the summit white, saw it on an ordering screen myself.

 

B====D

 

HELLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOO sooooo does that mean i can get those black rims???? even in ??? My order gets sent this week, and i DEFINATELY want those black rims!!! BTW, MAJOR REP to "rallyracer" for this pic!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, nice dual picture of both the RPD and the black rims, more rep points for him!!!

 

^
Word has not come back on the black wheels yet, usually that means it didnt make the cut...

If I were you I'd just order a white SS and have the wheels powder coated.

 

Really?? BRUTAL!! Those black rims on the white ss look soooooo f-ing amazing!!!!

 

HOLY ****!!!!

im jealous
