"When the 2009 model year commences in late June, a Cobalt SS sedan will be added, and we expect the price to be the same. A few other pieces of equipment may be added as well: an in-dash navigation system could be as low as $275, Bluetooth connectivity will be available, and there’s talk of offering a programmable data logger that would replace the A-pillar-mounted boost gauge. "
From C&D...
I still want the 08.........

The steering systems rack, electronics, and tuning are all unique to the SS, as is the cars pedal box, which has been optimized to provide better heel-toe downshifts.
Better for Heel-Toe eh? Sounds like GM really does visit this site, and actually listened to us.

^GTI interior doesn't look any better/worse than our car.
And the best lateral G's they could pull with the GTI was .84g with 17" wheels/tires.
That's what my 'ol 5L Mustangs did way back in the 80's (and those tires were 15 inchers!).
LOL

Have you ever sat in a GTi? The trim is real aluminum, not silver painted plastic, the steering wheel feels like a million dollars in your hands and the gauges are beautiful, much more expensive looking than ours. The pedals are aluminum from the factory, I can go on...

Why would I want a metal interior? more weight perhaps thats why VWs are always too damned heavy
Im sorry but nothing VW has ever felt like more than a butt plug for the queers that drive them
I really dont spend much time looking at my pedals, Im more concerned about what happens when i press them down

And I'll certainly take your word for it as it regards the hi-quality interior parts.
Still (for just an additional $900) I now have a 245hp GM Warrantied Stage 2 SS/SC.
And I LIKE that .... quality interior or not!
LOL

Right On!

The 0-60 is only expected to be 2 tenths faster then a stock SS/SC. I think I will keep the ss/sc. The suspension, no lift shift and launch control to sound like fun though.
