Just read an article on the "Car and Driver" mag site confirming the demise of the 08Supercharged Cobalt. GM states that the car wouldn't meet tighter emisions regulations for 2008, and given that it represents less than 3% of Cobalt sales, further development can't be justified.

 

oh here we go again....

 

sorry was I snoring too loud? Umm yes we all know this now.

 

I've not read a single post on this site concerning the actual reasons for its demise (from a reputable source).
So when Car and Driver magazine interviews a top member of Chevy's product development division, there are people that want to know.......the truth.
There are members of this forum that don't have time to spend their lives surfing this site for every tidbit of info. Simple as that.

 

didn't surf for it. It was a big thread a while back, like when the news was FIRST discovered. But ehh atleast you're catching up to speed.

 

I remember reading about GM stating it couldn't meet emision standards before....Reposts FTL.

 

Of the ten to fifteen threads in the "past while" I didn't discover any interview with with GM brass (considering it just occured).

 

Actually,I'll have to agree with you there.If all we did was use the
search button,no one would post anything.

 

I read about this a few weeks ago... there's a sticky on it iirc. I say good that they stopped making the car. Less people out there with the same car as us.

 

That would make sense to me. I don't read sticky threads (they tend to be baseless).

At any rate, I was suprised by the "less than 3% of production" stat. Thats pitifull.

Wake-up and go change your rotors again .......chimp.

You too Einstein

 

number 8!!!!!

 

Say, did anyone hear that there won't be anymore Cobalt in '09?

 

Geez this has been discussed to death

 

oh yeh didnt you guys know that the 08 Cobalt SS will have a Turbine powerplant with an AWD option and 8 SPD Gearbox? its gonna be the shiznit!
