haha television could sell ketchup lollipops to a lady wearing white gloves LOL...

LNF would be amazing in a Cobalt--kinda wish GM would get with the program and make it RWD though (which I believe there's another article on somewhere by autoweek)

Overused??? They are the superior form of forced induction.

That'd be a bad marketing move

They wouldn't sell nearly as many Solstices and Skys if it came to that

Trust me, I've thought about this.

Even me thinking about them putting a LNF in a Cobalt even FWD would lower the sales prices especially if they are making it the same power goal.

Maybe they're not advertising it because they're secretly making it RWD.. YEAH.. Gm would never come out with something that cool.

Come to think of it though I don remember seeing commericals for the SRT-4 when it first rolled out either. I think they are planning a sneak attack on the srt people and everyone else by throwing in the fact that they are boosting the HHR.


But then again I was talking with the dealer when I was purchasing my Balt and He said that they arent comming out with a boosted balt in 08' because they wanted to see the reaction after the HHR comes out boosted. They want the publicity and such and I'm guessin maybe,, just maybe they might slide it on the showroom floor without warning. Kinda like the new Nismo 350Z that they just brought in down here without warning. (fully modified)( for under $42,000)

The HHR is going to FLOP. The SRT4 is putting down 280+ to the wheels so if gm is coming out with a turbo'd cobalt it better be underrated
