GM Axing High-Performance Models:

"GM's already axed the Chevy Impala SS, Cobalt SS Sedan, Pontiac G6 GXP, Cadillac STS-V. Confirmed dead now include HHR SS and Cobalt SS coupe. But the Camaro SS, CTS-V and ZR1 still live."

Tough loss on the Cobalt SS, that thing almost bested the Camaro in the Nurburgring.

Guess they didnt want the word that their turboed 4 banger could kick their V8s ***. Tough luck GM should have tried harder...

Anyone who mistakes a 370z for a cobalt needs to have their driving privilages taken away...

No doubt. Some pretty dense people at that gas station, present company excluded.

not at all

I always thought the rears of the Impala and GTR looked similar. Not that I ever would mistake the two, but i recognized the similarities. I thought it kind of sucked the GTR ended up with a such a similar design on the rear, actually, but they've always had those kind of lights.

Well the GT-R34 imo had the back of an Impala and the front of an Acura Legend.
