Cobalt now turboed?

[AVE0SAM]

I dont know if anyone has noticed but the cobalt ss is now a turbocharged version, just saw this as I was checking mpg ratings

[y2dgone]

[AVE0SAM]

yup, on css.net, someone spied a gm test vehicle of the turboed cobalt. but i beleive they are releasing it for 09, not 08, may be wrong tho.

[AVE0SAM]

it said 08 on chevy.com

[mikedudley17]

hhhmmm i thought the 08 cars were already out... im pretty sure the tc versions arent for sale yet, but again im goin off memory.

the cobalt SS turbo will be out before june as a 2008 model, im pretty sure chevy said it'll cost $23K with most of the option included.

Yeah, the supercharged ones tend to have supercharger issues. Guess that paticular Supercharger was junk from the beginning. I have one that races with us, and his made all sorts of noise(clunking, clicking, popping and rattleing). eventually they replaced it under warranty, then 3 months latter its developing clicking again...

And someone else in our car community where i live had one just sieze up.


Guess there where quite a bit of reliability issues with the Superchargers... Engines are awsome, better off with a turbo i think!
