Guess I'm scarred from the turbo lag days, plus I like the sound the Cobalt SS SC makes :)

If they do drop the DI turbo in it, that would be cool.

From a long term ownership perspective, wouldn't a turbo be more problematic than a supercharger?

Nah, not with modern turbos and oiling systems. They're a lot more reliable than the old Garrett turbos on the old 3.1/3.8 V6s back in the day.

Thought your dad (who is paying) said you HAD to get a civic Now you claim your getting an FJ but if the SS comes out your getting that

It looks like disk brakes all the way around, I wonder if possible / how hard / how much it would be to put those on previous models.

At what price point do you think these are going to come in? The Solstice GXP starts at over $27,000 while the regular starts at $22,000.

You'd probably see this for $25-$28k with leather.

All wheel drive could be a possibility.

Rear wheel drive is out of the question considering most of GMs RWD efforts are in a state of hiatus now, and besides it would require a total alteration of the underlying platform, which they would not do at this early stage in the HHRs life cycle.
