Like i said il check em out

 

Hey, look at the bright side. We all own a piece of history now!

 

 

GM is dead to me but I guess they have to do what they need to do to become the next Toyota!

 

You realize that in just the cobalts that 97% of all cobalts sold were 2.2's, 2.5% were 2.4's, and .5% were 2.0 SS/SC's?

I don't know the breakout in the turbo but I guarantee its less than 1%

It's either do this or no GM? Personally I would rather still have cadillac's and corvettes in 20 years when I can afford them then see them pump money into a these cars that no one is buying now anyway.

We are in downturn, with high gas prices... guess what is gonna sell? the Cobalt XFE! so applaud them, maybe this will keep the Cobalt around a little longer then originally planned and in a few years maybe the re-release a nasty SS Balt.

 

what gm needs to do is bring this over here



bring this whole line of vehicles over here http://www.vauxhall.co.uk/vx/vxr/ind...#/cars/vectra/

 

So if the SS/SC is half a percent and the SS/TC was really only made for 18 months, then would it not seem like an SS/TC would be somewhat rare. I still plan on getting one and holding onto it for a long time.

 

Basically, if you have ANY special Cobalt (2.4 or 2.0), it's not like they're worth gobs of money, but they are "special" cars since they're low production.. Especially the '06 SS 2.4.. I think '06 was the only year of the 2.4 being called the SS, correct..?

 

See my CSS.net name?

 

If OrngBalt has the right percentages, then the only really rare ones are the supers and turbo.

 

Haha, the Astra is already over here, its under Saturn, which is being axed, so supposedly it's being rebadged to stay alive.

 

i must say that this really sux! I dont know about you guys, but here in MI, we need those SUV's and trucks just to be able to get around in the winter. Hell, the whole reason I got my suburban is cause I kept getting stuck in the snow with my cobalt ss.

 

SC about 15K total produced 05-07
SS/NA about 15K total produced 06-07

SS/TC 2-year run but numbers not available.

Sport 2.4 7% of 08 Cobalt production -- only year made...rarest Cobalts...

 

We do have the astra but....... the dont have any of the vxr models here which sucks. Also check out the new Insignia its pretty sweet

 

Exactly they just got their SS brand cleaned up, this **** should have happened to them when they were putting SS on Grandmas Impalla, And Aunt Marge's Trail Blazer.

 

Then I guess your un-informed ass has never driven Grandmas Impala SS or Aunt Marges Trail Blazer SS.

 

ok the impala sucks first of all its fwd, wtf you gonna do wit fwd v8 thats just stupid, now trailblazer SS i have driven it and its pretty sweet especially the launch but besides that the other is S**t

 

Actually doing **** like Yanko Camaros again is an amazing idea. They should have a line of cars produced by aftermarket groups. It would make even better, more rare cars.

 

What are you gonna do with a V8 FWD? Um.. Go fast?

Have we all forgotten how everyone made a big joke out of the Cobalt SS when it first came out? They said "What's next, an Aveo SS?" Come on now.

If you can't do anything with a V8 FWD, then you surely can't do anything with an I4 FWD. Get a clue.

The Impala/Monte Carlo platform have to be FWD because they are commuter cars and also used as service vehicles. Many people want FWD because RWD sucks in the snow. Sorry, us from the north need to worry about winter.

There IS more to life than driving really REALLY fast you know..

If you want to be really technical, the original Impala SS was slow as ****. It was a trim package, not an engine package. It gave you a floor shifter and badges.

 

I am not the only one that feels this way

"Chevy has ruined a lot of names and titles in it’s day, but none so brutally as the ‘SS’ nameplate. Once upon a time, SS meant V8 powered, rear wheel drive, tire melting fun. Nowadays, the 2007 Chevrolet Impala is the closest we get. Chevy did decide to throw a V8 under the hood ( after the embarrassment that was the supercharged V6 Impala SS of recent years ). Unfortunately, Chevy still decides to throw the power at the wrong set of wheels. There is never a time when V8 goes with FWD. Never, ever. V8 = RWD, or V8 = AWD/ 4WD ; there never need to be any exceptions.

As if the whole FWD thing wasn’t bad enough, there’s the fantastically bland styling of the Impala SS. There isn’t really a whole lot to say about the styling, because there just isn’t much going on there. Nothing about the car says Supersport. Nothing at all. I look at it, I want to fall asleep. That’s all I have to say about that. Does the performance make up for the strikes against the 2007 Impala SS? "

 

i was right next to a impalla ss (last model they putout) in my stock supercharged cobalt...... they sucked

 

i agree there slow, if your gonna buy a impala ss you might as well buy a charger r/t with RWD its more fun and you dont get as much understeer

 

Weren't the Northstars that Caddy made FWD V8s? Albiet not marketed for performance. I think the performance division will be back. If they are going to remain competitive in other performance markets, its a must. As for the Yenko being revived, how about the ZR1's long lost cousin- the Camaro ZL-1?

 

You do have to remember that the Impala is a heavy-weight American car. Of course it's not gonna be a damn Ferrari. But neither was the '96 Impala SS that everyone seems to love so much.

And what is wrong with the L67 supercharged V6? That motor is decent from the factory, and with very little, becomes a nasty ass set-up.

And you wonder why everyone makes fun of GM. Their own customers make fun of their cars.

 

we'd better still see a camaro ss otherwise it's gonna kill a car that it just brought back for competition with the challenger and mustang... no ss would sink the car right away
