I am going to keep my comments to myself as I find it very hard to say anything nice about Chevy, though it looks like this will be a powerful little Cavalier...

Cobalt SS Turbo

New Story:

Turbo Cobalt

GM is the king of recycling old parts to make new cars. poop/

 

[AllShowNoGo]

oh man, now the civic, even the Si's, will be back to the bottom of the food chain again

i like'd the whine of the SC...but the potential of the turbo..i wonder what the output will be on them

If it is the same engine from the skyline/solstice and SS HHR, the output is around 260 hp.

ill take my 197hp civic over a 260hp Chevy any day.

Honda anyday...i just find it funny that Chevy has to build a turbo/SC motor to stay in the same class as out Si's ...whatever makes Chevy feel tough...***junk***cough cough***junk***

I don't really think it's to compete with the Civic Si. It's to compete with the MazdaSpeed 3, which, in a roundabout way competes with the WRX. Cheap speed, essentially, because of the easy power gains from a turbo.

another rice (or shall this be cornz?) rocket kids will wrap around a tree... way da go, GM.

I'm ashamed at you guys for the negative comments.

 

[Seemund]

Very good ..260hp! nice!! Wondering what the price will be?
Maybe I'll get one if the entire package X money is good

What do you expect? lol.

I hate GM. Like someone said before though.. someone needs to make those rental cars!

Being negative has nothing on being truthful.

I will say, even though I hate the Solstice, the GXP version is very very sexy. Maybe it's because of TF???

lol. the reliability of a turbo motor is not the greatest....and the reliability of a turbo chevy is even worse...hnoes:

they should have stuck with the supercharged motor for any long term drivability.

 

[kenchan]

lol...looks like some kid has a diaper rash...

Actually the Ecotec motor has been proven to be a very reliable engine and able to take a ton of abuse. (I know this too because I had a Cobalt rent-a-car for a week ) It's the transmission and interior quality that give the Cobalt a bad name. I really don't think they look bad at all, and I was considering an SS until I kept hearing about the transmission issues.

 

[Izzy]

The new Cobalt actually reminds me, somewhat, in a very far off plane about the 6th gen civics. With the large headlights and the shape of the coupe. I dunno...it's not a bad looking car, as long as the wing isn't there.

I believe I read somewhere that the Cobalt was redesigned to compete with the import market. Now if they can only do a Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep and give a lifetime warraty on powertrain, I'd go back to Chevy. Hey wait a minute, I am. 2009 Camaro all the way, probably wait for the 2010 though. I'd still keep the SI.
