LMAO Cobalt and collectible in the same sentence.

the cobalt will NEVER be a collectible. it will always be an economy car SS or not.

Amazing how people take him not saying the word Cobalt as meaning they won't call it a Cobalt. People in the media read way to much into things.

That doesn't make much sense for them to get rid of the Cobalt name after one generation. But then again it is GM, so I'm not too surprised. I guess it'll just go with the trend of ever car I've ever had being discontinued...

Mercury Sable - Killed off for a few years then came back
Plymouth (and) Neon - Extinct
Ford Escort ZX2 - Extinct
Chevy Cobalt SS/SC - Endangered.

Killing the Cobalt name is a dumb move.

although i completely agree, there have been stanger things that have become collectibles. (ie...the nova was also considered somewhat of an ugly econo car of its time, now i hear people calling them "muscle cars" im not saying this will happen with the SS cobalts but im not saying it wont either)

The knee jerk reactions around here crack me up. Somewhere, there was once probably a Cavalier forum where people went "Oh, suxxorz! That Cobalt is teh ugly!" Because they already had Cavaliers and didn't see themselves getting a Cobalt anytime soon. Then, just a couple of years ago it was "There is no turbo Cobalt SS and if there was it would be worse and slower and uglier and more expensive and handle worse and be harder to drive and not as much fun as my supercharged!"

A couple of years from now, the 1/3 of the people on this forum driving this car will be your friends, and some of you will have changed your minds about it, too, LOL!

I think if GM doesn't seriously consider putting AWD into the next Cobalt they are retarded............they can do all their base crap LS, LT, LTZ and then do 2 versions of the SS, one FWD and one AWD..........

FWD Cobalt SS's are fine, but I agree that the chassis needs to be able to handle AWD. The only thing keeping me from buying a HHR SS is the lack of AWD. It's meant to be a crossover SUV, at least give it a SUV quality.

Since I brought up the HHR, what does this mean for that thing? Is it going the way of the SSR?
