2008 SS - Can a USA order be made yet?

I went to a dealer in canada and I cant order it. nothing on system yet and I am told that there is no paper system to factory order this car.

The dealer thought it may come up as an item to order in the US first. Has anyone in the USA tried?

thanks.

Yeah get pics cause I having a hard time believing that you saw what you feel you did see. Sorry it is not a question of character. that would have to the only dealer since production has not even started for this car.

Dealers here have no idea that there will be an 08 cobalt ss t/c… they try to tell me I’m wrong. It’s embarrassing how uneducated GM dealers can be.

Too funny JonyyB....LOL dealers here know about it but no idea whats on it like the FE5 suspension, the brembo brakes and such. they just think its a turbo and thats it. I told them about the Fuel injection system and they thought I was talking out my A$$ till they looked at the soltice.....LOL.

If the car was RWD it would be perfect. but the dream ends there. LOL. going to be a fun car. hope I get one, but I dont think I will strike a deal or be able to unload my SC version with a lease take over.

i agree, it would be nice, fun, and practical to drive, but it will never come from the production plants of GM. (dont even bring up Saab) people with money and time can do anything though. i would love to see an AWD version but with more power output to compensate for drivetrain loss.

hello, went to the dealership yesterday because was just curious, well on their computer it brought up a 2008 ss s/c, but then when you went to engine specs it said turbo, it had some flaws in it, but it was the 2008 ss turbo and it said on there that they can order it dec. 10 of 2007, sorry about the typing i know its bad but i just woke up and am really tired haha, if you all dont believe me call this number , 1660-885-2278, its my dealership i deal from, and they will tell you, i personally saw it on their computer,
