Question Ss? Ls? Lt?

What does SS LS and LT mean?
Im told by the sales guy that the SS means Super Sports Package...
I test drove an LS and it seemed to be just the basic Cobalt Sedan
that didnt get **** for acceleration about 45mph

So what is LS and LT? What does SS really stand for? Cause the salesman

LS, LT, etc, don't have any meaning they're just model designations.

LS = base model, least amount of standard equipment
LT = base engine/transmission/suspension, but more "creature comforts" i.e. it comes standard with more upgrades than the LS

LS means Limited Sport I think. It's the base model, with very few options. Basic 2.2l naturally aspirated motor. Comes in both coupe and sedan. Usually 15" steel wheels

LT means Limited Touring. Usually the same as the base model except for power windows and locks. Same motor. There are many levels of LT though that have every option available, such as leather seats, 16" aluminum wheels, etc. This is the most versatile trim package, and has the most different forms.

SS means super sport. Fully loaded car, power everything but seats. Pioneer sound system. 2.0l turbocharged engine, 5 speed manual transmission. Sport cloth/suede seats. 18" aluminum wheels. Performance suspension.

Maybe that was it. I knew it was something sport and something touring. I thought they were limited, beacuase I wouldn't exactly call either one luxury...
And I don't think anyone knows because nowhere in the cars or in the manual does it say what either one is

SS means Super Sport

LS, LT and LTZ arent short for anything, they are just trim levels, like CX, CXL, CS,Denali, Sierra, Cheyenne, Silverado, Z/28, ZR1, etc, etc......they dont mean anything they are just the name or code for a particular trim level

You must not have much of a grasp on automotive history if you don't know what SS stands for...
