haha....they called the Cobalt SS sedan a high performance vehicle....I thought it just had the SS cosmetic package

 

+1

 

b/c the goverment ownes the rest. lol... bail us out.. we build junk!

 

I know they are dropping ideas about selling a similar car, but they won't. This type of car applys to a niche market, it will be hard enough to market a car like this by itself, it will be twice as hard with a comparable vehicle under the same roof. Take the pontiac solstice and the saturn sky for example. The solstice debuted one year before the sky. When the sky came out, sales of the solstice dropped 19% for that year, even though the solstice was a couple grand cheaper. This is probally one of the reasons GM decided a solstice coupe would be a good idea.
Think of it this way, do you think Chrysler could have sold an SRT4 neon AND an SRT4 calibur at the same time, even if one was badged a plymouth and one was badged a dodge? One of them would have went either way.....

Some are just cosmetic, but some are F/I. The SS silverado on the other hand.....

LOL..... it's only 8% ownership for the gov., but ownership none-the-less.

 

Good points. Of course in the case of the Sky/Solstice, it could also have to do with the Sky being way better looking.

 

But thats like finding thw worlds tallest midget.

 

That was fast.

 

The Cobalt SS sedan actually beat out the WRX and the Mazdaspeed 3 in multiple comparisons, and was the only one that came from the factory with Brembos, AND ran the fastest Nurenburg loop time out of the 3.

In the past, the Cobalt SS sedans came with the 2.4L LE5 engine, but the newer Cobalt SS sedans (2009+) have the same turbocharged 260hp LNF powerplant as the coupes.

 

Fiat should put the GEMA 2.4 turbo motor in the 500.

 

lol....not for long
