2006 Cobalt Lineup
<img src="https://www.cobaltss.net/articles/SSsedan.jpg" align="left" border="0" hspace="5" vspace="5">GM has just releases quite a bit of info on the 2006 Cobalt lineup.
The notable items include:
I am also glad to see that the SS Coupe and Sedan come standard with 5 speed transmissions and available 4spd automatic. The SS Coupe and Sedan will share the same F23 manual as the base cobalt and the SS/SC will keep the F35 to itself.
Here is a quick rundown of the new features of the SS Sedans and Coupes
The specs on the 2.2 L61 and 2.0 LSJ will carry over form 2005 as near as I can tell. However there is the addition of the LE5 Ecotec 2.4L VVT available only on the SS Coupe and Sedan.
Here is a quick run down of the new LE5 2.4L VVT
Look for more updates as we find out more about the 2006 Cobalt lineup.
The notable items include:
- Two new colors: Majestic Amethyst and Laser Blue (replaces Arrival Blue)
- SS coupe and sedan models with 171-hp (128 kw)* 2.4L Ecotec VVT 4-cyl., 17-in. wheels, FE3 performance suspension, unique exterior and interior appointments
- Model lineup includes LS coupe and sedan, LT coupe and sedan, LTZ sedan, SS coupe and sedan and SS Supercharged coupe

I saw one yesterday on highway. He pulled up next to me, waited for me to
acknowledge him. That's one ugly color! May make a good chick color.
