Cobalts in back issues?
I was wondering if anyone here has any magazines with Cobalt SS's in them...

One of my guilty pleasures is collecting magazine back issues which cover cars I like;

I currently have the November 2008 Road & Track issue with the "Time For Tubos" comparison of a Cobalt SS sedan, against a Mazdaspeed3, Misubishi Lancer Ralliart, and Subaru Impreza WRX;
and the Cobalt comes out the winner (in their minds at least)...

I also have some magazines with reviews or blurbs on the 2010 Cobalt SS ~ but there's nothing special there to mention...

Can any of you let me know magazine back issues & articles that would be worthwhile seeking out?

Thanks!

Car and driver reviewed the TC, and SCC had a raving review of it as well.

we need dates if back issues guys!

generally our cars are relegated to the back, or middle of the magazines - so there is virtually never any mention on the cover page;
and most ebay listings only show:
  • title
  • year/month
  • cover shot

I'm not familiar with that publication - is it all about sound systems? - if so did it do a small review on the car, and spent more time on the sound system??
