old news
The Cobalt SS and the Cobalt Turbo are two different models. The Cobalt SS Supercharged was discontinued for 2008, so 2007 was the last yeat for it. The 4-dr and 2dr "SS" models, were replaced by the Cobalt "Sport". The Cobalt Turbo is what is coming out later in 2008, but it doesn't have the SS badge as far as I know, unless something changed.
.... and they wouldnt dump that kind od money into it, from a s/c to a turbo and discontinue it. sweet ride none the less
maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow....... but some day
