Put that 26-27k next to the extortion prices that Subaru and Mitsubishi are getting for the same cars, and it is still a bargain (the WRX is going for 32k, the one STi next to it was about 37k, and the Evo was tagged at 36k [Burlington VT dealers back in June])

Don't buy from that dealership then. The WRX TRs are going for around $26K here (my husband bought one back in March) and the STis are going for $36K.

If Subaru can make all of their cars AWD and them not be too expensive, why can't GM do it? I mean my husbands car was only $3K more than my car. Plus keep in mind, GM switching to a turbo costs less money to manufactuer. Superchargers are much more expensive than a turbo setup.

i'd love to, but up here, our choices in dealerships are fairly limited.
We kind of live in the sticks!

Yes, and most likely we'll see the next generation Cobalt in '09 as well with the LNF in it. That's where my money is going.

But we could sit here until next August discussing and throwing info around and speculating, but we'll all just have to wait until GM officially anounces it.

I don't think we'll have to wait quite that long. I'd expect by NAIS in January there will be an announcement.
