Where did you find this price discrepancy? Were they the same part number? Have you found this price discrepancy elsewhere? Were those examples identical part numbers?

EBC shows GD7264 for Cobalt, around $180 per pair, and GD7375 for HHR, about $220 a pair.

It is not uncommon in many different industries, to make up 2 different part numbers for the same item, with a lower price on the more popular item, to be more competetive on the higher volume item, and have a higher profit margin on the less popular item.

Yeah, what he said... that's what I was trying to get at but on re-read, I clearly was running in circles trying to get to that. Thanks!
