The economic chaos continues to make victims in the automotive sector and gets ready to scrap another model, this time in Chevrolet's lineup. After reports that came out this week hinted that Chrysler might kill Dodge Viper and Jeep Wrangler, General Motors has its own share of sad news as it seems the American car manufacturer is getting ready to cancel the 2010 Coball SS Sedan.
The information was first revealed by the guys over at Autoblog based on details published on GM's 2010 Online Order / Reference Guide for dealers.
General Motors hasn't commented the reports by the time of writing this article but, taking into account that dealers are no longer capable to order the car, there's surely some truth behind this story.
It seems like Pontiac was only the beginning of a new killing streak by General Motors. It all continued with Saturn - unless the parent company finds an outside investor willing to buy the ailing unit - by the end of the year and finally with Hummer which is expected to have the same fate as Saturn. General Motors repeatedly said it will concentrate on its four core brands, namely Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC that will remain in the United States for the time being.
Meanwhile, GM is also struggling to sell Saab and Opel, two European assets that stirred the interest of several investors, including Magna International and Russia's second largest automaker GAZ.
The first Chevrolet Cobalt SS was officially launched in 2004 and was powered by the same engine as the Saturn ION Red Line unveiled one year before. All models came with four-wheel ABS and, compared with the base version of the Cobalt, featured lower front and rear fascias, integrated fog beams, chromed exhaust tips and slightly different interior accents.
