Hey, does anyone know if the Pontiac Pursuit has a model equivalent to the Cobalt SS? 68.14.20.221 16:30, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- Not as of yet. The highest model in the G5/Pursuit lineup is the GT. =frontside= 01:16, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
According to the HHR page, GM will discontinue the Cobalt SS Supercharged in 2008 in favor of a turbocharged version. The engine in this new model will be the same turbocharged 2.0L four found in the Solstice GXP and Sky Red Line. =frontside= 01:18, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cobalt name sticking after 2009?
Hey, I live near the Lordstown Assembly plant, and I myself own a Cobalt. Does anyone know if the Cobalt's replacement in 2010 is still called the Cobalt? I know that Lordstown is more worried if the plant even stays open (which is surprising considering that the plant was updated with a new assembly line and paint shop not too long ago), but my Cobalt is a very good car and has become known to be reliable. I'd like the name to stick. The Cavalier was around for 22 years anyways, why not the Cobalt? Jgera5 01:01, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- I can't say for sure, but I'd assume it would. The cobalt was originally intended to be the new generation of Cavaliers. The only thing they kept was the engine, everything else had a huge upgrade in quality. So they felt it was far different and better than the Cavalier and they gave it a new name. Another reason why it probably will is because of how new the Cobalts are, starting off with an 05 model. Seeing as they are selling fairly frequently I doubt they would scrap the name after 5 years of production. 206.229.18.66 16:49, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
I would have to agree. It's sad that production won't be in my backyard anymore, as they are moving to Mexico. Well, at least GM Lordstown is staying open.Jgera5 14:54, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removed blurb from performance
I have removed "There are countless different upgrades for the LSJ motors, including injectors, intakes, headers, exhausts, and supercharger upgrades/replacements. After-market parts may void the original factory warranty, but often offer superior performance for far less money than GMPP parts. When installing after-market performance kits, it will be essential to have the car's Engine Control Unit retuned." from the performance section as it is _completely_ useless and off track. If you disagree, bring it up in the discussion before putting it back it or I will simply refer this to a moderator. --RyanKlein 20:27, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removal of 2008.5 for Cobalt SS Turbocharged
I am removing it because though it will be released later, it is going to be marketed as a 2008. If you want to make a note that it will be released later in 2008, go for it but its not a 2008.5, simply a 2008 model year.--RyanKlein 07:28, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removal of junk from Performance section
I remove "Even after all these performance modifications the Chevrolet Cobalt SS will have a hard time running consistant 12 second passes." from the performance section as this is just garbage and has nothing to do with it, and they cannot spell check. If you disagree, please bring it up in the discussion before adding it again, thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RyanKlein (talk • contribs) 07:31, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
