After all this hype/confusion all I have to say is.... meh. Not bad, definitely gonna be a big step up for Chevy, but that car is not for me. Where's the sweet 2 door SS? That could be interesting....

No, unfortunately.

The Governor did make an offer in his speech to double the benefits from the state if they could get another vehicle commitment today. Thought they were angling for a Volt commitment.

I like it! A lot! I'd like to see the volt first though. I heard they're aiming for a 2010 release on it. Canadian commercial.

Still looks like something my grandma would drive. I,m not interested in it at all.

If they want to keep making cobalt's either ss/tc or even go back to ss/sc I will continue to buy and support them. Other then that goodbye chevy.

Anyone know for sure what they are doing for power in these things? I heard there's a possibility of a 2.2 turbocharged for the SS? Can anyone confirm this? When I first saw it, I wasn't to fond of it, but I think it's growing on me a bit.
