2010 Chevy Cobalt
A single, very clear and largely uncamoflaged image of what we assume to be the 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt has emerged from GM Inside News. This new photo seems to confirm some of the other heavily camo'd shots we've seen today, but this is by far a better image. The styling on the new Cobalt is extremely reminiscent of the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu, it just seems to have been left in the dryer a little too long. There's a larger version as well as some discussion about this new model below.

Latest by Spasticteapot: @stu-rock: Actually, if I'm not mistaken, the Civic dropped independent rear suspension...and suffered for it. Thankfully, the next-gen Focus will be on the C1 (Mazda3) platform, which is vastly superior. Why buy one of these when you can get a real car? Also, more »

SEMA 2007: More Shots Of The Chevy Cobalt SS, Now With Engine Shots
Oh look, it's the turbocharged 2.0-liter Ecotec referenced earlier today. Yay. Enjoy the open hood, boys. And remember, the Chevy Cobalt SS grille will be billet, not bar. GM PR wants us to clear up that misconception built from, you know, showing a car at SEMA that's the opposite of what the production version will look like.

Google Street Cam: Brought To You By The Chevrolet Cobalt
A couple months back we showed you the first shot of the Microsoft Live "Street View" truck. Now a tipster to our gadget-obsessed brother site snapped some pictures of what appears to be Google upping the ante. The tipster, who will remain nameless to protect his identity from Google bombs, found

Juicing the Ecotec: GM's New Aftermarket Kits Are Here
Drivers of Chevy Cobalt SSs and Saturn ION Redlines will finally be able to add firepower under their dimunitive hoods for not a whole lot more money. GM Performance Parts, the company's aftermarket pimps, have released two aftermarket engine-upgrade kits that will add between 31 and 36 horsepower. The Stage One kit ($500) includes ECU tweaks and higher-flow injectors, and Stage Two involves a giant slingshot and rubberbands made from melted-down cheater slicks. No, seriously. Press release after the jump. More »

50-Foot Queenie: Wagoner Forced to Apologize For GM Small-Car Exec
A friend of ours who, until recently, was in the car-review biz, gave the Chevy Cobalt SS a lukewarm review, pointing out the harsh motor, plasticky interior and doofy rear wing. GM's response? Anger, misery, yanking of advertising from the publication he worked for. When the HHR dropped, GM Executive for small cars, Lori Queen, dropped by personally with the test vehicle, pointing out all of the features, but, to quote our friend, "But, when we asked simple questions like, 'Why does this look just like a PT?' and 'How come the dash is harder than my Labrador's head?' she took it VERY personally, like we insulted her kid."

US Could Get Version of Canada's Pontiac Pursuit
Word is, Pontiac is getting a badge-engineered version of the Chevrolet Cobalt that Canadians already know as the Pontiac Pursuit (pictured). In its US guise, the new compact will likely be dubbed the G4 (hello, Apple Computer?), and according to Edmunds Inside Line is expected to get the Cobalt SS's supercharged 2.0-liter four, and possibly even the 260-hp turbocharged direct-injection mill from the Pontiac Solstice (260 hp at the front wheels? Oh, that'll happen). Let's see, which part of Pontiac's plan to focus its brand does this fall under? Oh yeah, the last line, which reads "ignore all of the above." More »

Here Come the Kits: Chevrolet Cobalt Gets Dealership Bolt-On Power
Chevy Cobalt SS owners whose adrenals have hit a wall will have new dealer-installed options to give them a mild kick in the glands. GM Performance Parts will offer two bolt-on boost ECOTEC mods that will be available at dealerships in early 2006. Stage 1 pulls 31hp out of higher-flow fuel injectors and an engine-computer upgrade that raises the rev limiter to 6700rpm, for a total of 236 hp and 205 lbs-ft of torque; Stage 2 adds a smaller, 79mm supercharger pulley to add 2psi of boost, upping the horsepower to 241 hp and 218 lbs-ft of torque. A dealership-ready Grand Am Cup Cobalt? Pretty close, though no word on prices yet. More »
