Rumor has it the LNF Chevy Cobalt should be hitting the dealerships soon as a 2008.5 model. Direct Injected 260hp turbocharged 2.0l...

Sounds like the Neon SRT-4 will lose its fastest FWD title. Sounds like a bad *** car.

Caliber SRT4 IS SLOWER than the neon SRT4. only by a few 1/10ths of a second, only because of the weight of the car

hrm.... if they put a turbo on it... it might actually be a worthy buy. However, I still don't feel like sitting in a cavalier with a different name.

Sure I drive a neon... but hell there are limits!

It's no longer rumor, its fact.....and it wont be beating any records set by the SRT-4 Neon, but it will be closer to the SRT-4 times then the previous SS/C Cobalt.
