I wouldn't get any 2009 SS Balt without an RPD... I feel bad for peeps that don't get this or buy an off-the-lot 2009 later this fall that doesn't have it. Just like I felt bad for peeps getting the 08s without the LSD.


P.S. - White is a cool color. But why is everyone going ape **** over it? Did I miss something? I mean, I know GM didn't offer it.. Is it just because peeps been waiting on it for years for balts?
Because SS/SC's weren't available in white. This is the first "fast" Cobalt to be offered in white.

sweet.. a lot of peeps like white I guess. I suppose I am in the minority then.

I always wondered why they stopped that metallic orange color. That was sooooo sweet looking IMO.... I would have gotten that instead of yellow for sure if it was available.

Guess so. Main reason I chose white was b/c it was the only color exclusive to the 2.4SS when opposed to the SS/SC. Wanted to be different. I pretty much like all the Cobalt colors except yellow and black. Black is just too hard to keep looking good, and I don't like yellow cars unless they are Ferraris, Porsches or Lambos.

That car does NOT have the Reconfigurable Performance Display. I can clearly see the boost gauge in the picture from the front. And I don't like white cars... But that's sweet it's a 2009. How did the Bluetooth work???

Looks like a white SS/TC

I dunno...I wish they had an Arrival Blue again...

Black
Silver
Blue

are the only three colors that exist to my preference.



Funny, I owned a black Cobalt before my silver one, and have a blue and black bike.

The 08 600

That...they do...wouldn't wanna own it. Bikes get dirty way faster that cars.

They look nice but the new 600s have o2 sensors in them which makes tuning them super FTL.

The new upper is nice, more lighting is always FTW.
