Bummer, if you do pull the trigger on getting the Cobalt SS it looks like that little car is going to be really fun to build on.

I would have never picked the Vehicle up in the 1st place with a Check engine light on......Sorry. That car should have stayed until it was fixed!

I wouldn't take the car from them if it wasn't fixed anyway. If all the techs there can't get it working you would just pull your hair out trying to fix it. Get the Cobalt, sounds like you want it more now anyway and I can't say as I blame you....

How is getting a Cobalt SS much different than an HHR SS? Exact same engine and powertrain. Only thing different is what sheet metal its wrapped in.

Aerodynamics and 400lbs

The Cobalts SS is gonna be a beast in the fwd performance car market. The HHR will always be it's slower more user friendly fat cousin

Gotta admitt I like the looks of the HHR SS quite a bit more. I think the 4door SS cobalt they are releasing will look good and be a nice little sleeper

that was kinda the plan till they told me about not wanting to release the car. i guess if i really wanted to,i could go get it.

coletrickle hit the nail on the head why i want the cobalt ss. i do like the hhr interior over the cobalt,just seems nicer,but i like the exterior of the cobalt better.

These posts are depressing. Almost makes me want to go get a Honda Accord.
