but with the SS Supercharged staying around and the SRT-4 going away they're gonna own the market for a little while.
Who told you this? The SRT-4 will come back with the Caliber or Rebel.

Not neccesarily. The Cobalt SS Super Charged runs mid 20K's and so does the Charger and Mustang. Both of them own the Cobalt. I agree that Cobalt sales will probably go up though because of the SRT-4's absence..

true, but the cobalt is a totally different TYPE of car, the cobalt is a sport comapct pretty much, where as the mustang is pretty much a muscle car kinda, and thats wut the charger is trying to be

Good point. If I was shopping for a car I'd wouldn't consider a cobalt if I was looking at a car the size of the Charger.

The Charger isn't trying to be a muscle car. It IS a powerful sedan.

I was referring to the Neon SRT-4, while Dodge would be retarded to not come out with an SRT-4 Caliber or Rebel, the time that GM has to itself in the market will allow it to create a customer base for the Cobalt SS S/C among the people that don't know any better, and will be able to hold that sales lead for a little while.

if you are going to make a "super sport" car, why would you put a 205hp engine in a car. look at the montecarlo ss only 240hp. haha

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and couldn't resist responding to this thread.
Now, I'm posting this as the owner of a 95 Impala SS and as a business owner who has specilized in this model for years.

As an owner I pretty much agree with you guys, to a point. GM doesn't have a friggin clue as to what the public wants. They do stick the "SS" emblem on pretty much anything because they can't boost sales by offering an innovative, exciting, etc model. But, (and my wife and I own a 2005 Durango with 5.7 Hemi), Dodge also sticks the "Hemi" badge on quite a few vehicles for marketing purposes as well. And it works for both companies. Where Dodge has excelled is in bringing concept vehicles to production. They ask the market "what do you think?". The markets say, we love it and Dodge has built it. GM is opposit, they ask, "what do you think?", the market says, we love it and GM says, OK thanks but you can't have it. Instead they build these generic cars/trucks and try to tell people what they SHOULD like and SHOULD buy. GM, get a clue!

Now, from a business owner who specializes in the Impala SS, the 94 - 96 Chevy Impala SS is pretty much the last of the "true" muscle cars that deserve the "SS" emblem. If you guys haven't had the pleasure of driving or riding in one, or haven't been up against one on the street, you can't begin to appreciate how awesome they are.

In closing, I'm here now as an owner and a vendor and I hope to be able to bring high end quality parts to THIS market and offer the same customer service I have earned with the Impala SS owners.
