I was just on Autozone's website looking for a part for my balt and you had to selection of engine choices for the 08-09s. The 2.2 and the 2.0 LNF, in parenthesis right next to each engine have a percentage breakdown on each engine with 2.2 taking 99% of the enignes and the 2.0 taking only 1%, I'll post a pic ...

I look for cobalts all the time, and when i was promoting our car club I would drive to all of the malls and look for cobalts to put flyers on. Theres 1 blue SS/SC in my area who isnt on the forums and never got back to me, a lot of base models, and 1 SS/TC who works at the dealer who I never see and never comes out with us and very rarely posts on here lol
I consider them rare cars

Yeah I'm in the Delaware County are outside of Philadelphia, I've met one other SS/TC owner and saw a yellow base cobalt (looked to be an 05-06) with a high rise spoiler on it (tinted windows) and I think it had black rims (I couldn't tell since there was a median in the way).

I see a TON of base Cobalts/G5's, but I have YET to see an SS/SC or SS/TC on the road without an arranged meeting. Makes me kinda sad considering I like meeting other owners sporadically, not that base cobalt owners aren't the same...

On autozone's site for 2006 only 3% of cobalts have a 2.0 sc. Someone posted SS/SC numbers awhile ago and there were roughly 6900 SS/SC made. For 05 and 07 it was 2%

That's basically out of 230,000 cobalts built .... 3% of them were supercharged ... interesting. I'm looking forward to when the LNF numbers are produced and broken down by options etc. It give you a true feeling of how 'rare' your cobalt is in the cobalt community.

I was looking at an 06 Accord Coupe V6 6speed a while back. It was black on black leather with navigation and without the spoiler. I found some numbers and only .5% of ALL accords made was in this color with the EXACT same options. I foudn it interesting.

I think there is going to be a dramatic difference between 08 SS/TCs and 09 SS/TCs due to the strike and they only made the 08 model for about 6 months lol

It is going to be really rare since it sounds like you have the only convertible SS/TC...probably the only convertible Cobalt!

I saw a yellow one the other day - unfortunately I was driving my 89 f250 at the time...

Its the first 08/09 I have seen in the Raleigh area.


I have no sunroof - specifically ordered it that way. The headroom is more important to me, but I would have loved to have one.. if my head didn't hit the roof.

Two weeks ago.... I had a case file open with customer service... they called me to tell me that they were closing my case file because it would be another month before the numbers were in.... I would suggest opening a case file... perhaps if there are multiple cases out there we can get an answer someday
