I don't see LS anywhere in there, and I don't see coupe anywhere in there. They probably sold too few manual LT sedans to warrant production.

cause they didn't do it right. it should've gotten the JSL internals with the LNF turbo and they would've had a sti contender for half the price. especially with the release of the new "egg sti" putting the s/c on the 2.0 was just a dumb move all around. they intentially limited the HP cause the tranny can't really handle it and that's retarded to do that in a "performance car" the 2.4 should be the boosted car, and should've been the SS/SC to begin with, the 2.2 should've been the SS/NA and the 2.0 should've been the LS/LT. it just makes more sense.

i figured they would drop the 2.2 before the 2.4 and i'm glad im getting the 08 tc w/ ultra silver metallic. i love that color. that hummer in the link looks a little too light for me. as for the bluetooth i would never use it and i have a feeling the new display will be disappointing. i dont watch the gauges anyway.

what you said makes sense. i thought the 2.4 was gona be the future for chevys 4 bangers but apparently they are up to something again. with the new body styling for the cobalt just a few years away i wouldn't be surprised if they do away with ecotecs all together.

trust me you're not... especially because of the srt 4.. a boosted 2.4 ecotech would've been a srt killer both past and present and an sti rival for 1/2 the price ... gm fuxored this one up

Yup, these things happen.. same with the cavalier. They went from the 2.8 V6 to a 3.1 V6 and eventually to a 4 banger and then the ECOTEC.. Also did minor changes along the way.
