Nothing too big for the Cobalt...but nice minor things.


CLIFFNOTES: basically you can get all the same stuff a "Sport" edition cobalt had including the rims, body kit, etc but without the 2.4 powertrain.

 

hmms...bye bye 2.4

 

Gold mist metalic just sound ugly

 

wtf is with u and ttr?

 

that sucks...imo they should keep the 2.4 and axe the 2.2...but i guess this is being done for fuel reasons on the long wrong perhaps?

 

Probably that and manufacturing costs...
This really limits the production range though, kind of strange.

There going to have a 2.2 slowbalt, then a 2.0 turbo? There is no midpoint anymore.
Oh wells!

 

well it says 2.2 is getting VVT so that should boost power a lil
and they wouldnt do it for fuel economy reasons cuz they get the same mileage
im curious what the Human Machine Interface is and its nice to see a usb input on the radio as well as blue tooth
also nice to see a turbo sedan...sorta like bmw bringing back the m3 sedan and vw the 4 door gti...fun and performance in a practical package

 

aw, oh well thats just makes my car more "rare".

 

Does this make my 2008 Sport rare?
-Aleckor

 

sounds like "fancy beige" to me

 

Rarity on a Domestic? ....that in itself is rare

I'm curious as to when these changes will all take place. This is for the '09 model year, which means that these should all be the case come September-ish?
If that's the case, maybe I'll wait 3-4 more months before really concidering the trade up.

 

i dont know...even considering they're gonna discontinue it it was still good that they offered 3 engines...they will be missed the 2.4 and 2.0lsj...for those that like the those as there favs....

 

The SS/TC isn't even out and your talking about 09?

I need to go to bed I am tripping lol.

 

Not really, since there's a relatively large amount of '08 2.4's, and the fact that your car is identical to 06/07 2.4's.

 

No more Ultra Silver Metallic eh?

 

I was wondering if LAP was still gonna show up . You might see a opt. navi added into that too later , the 09's will be abled .

Shocking , Blue Flash lasted 1 year

Just your typical phasing out of things at the end of a model

 

So my question is simply, what's the difference between Silver Ice Metallic and Silver Moss Metallic. What are they doing, going Civic style? All I see rolling around is white, light grey, medium grey, dark grey, and black Civics.

 

I would . If the performance display is as useful as it seems , I would kick myself for not waiting .

 

how does ultra silver metallic compare to silver ice metallic. sounds like the silver ice would be lighter and maybe a bit more blue

 

Might look like this:

hmmm i see. its okay. so how's the car coming along man. any new mods.

 

Me and mario_ss are headed down to PY to get stage 2 installed as soon as his comes in. Can't wait.

[/threadjack]

 

yea sry

with the usb port does anyone think ipods can be controlled by the radio controls or even the controls on the wheel.

 

Well the steering wheel controls work with the PAL that I installed on mine. It's hard-wired instead of a USB port but I suspect it will be the same programming.

 

From the names of the silver colors, I'm thinking Silver Ice might have a slight blue shimmer, while Silver Moss might have a slight green shimmer.

They might be nice colors, but damn you GM and getting rid of all the sporty colors!!!!!
I find it funny that they replace the Blue color every year though. I don't think a single blue has made it past 1 year.
