Langenhorst feels that the exterior styling of the Cobalt SS Supercharged complements the performance aspects of the car. ''The front fascia features a large, deep air inlet and the rear fascia has a cutout for the large, chromed exhaust tip,'' he points out, and ''along with revised rocker moldings, the enhanced bodywork of the SS Supercharged visually lowers the coupe 2.5 cm. Halogen fog lamps are also included.''

The Cobalt Supercharged SS comes standard with a unique rear decklid spoiler and will be offered in five body colors including Rally Yellow, Black, Orange Metallic, Victory Red and Arrival Blue Metallic.

Interior cosmetic upgrades include an accelerator pedal that was reshaped to enable heel-and-toe driving, which Langenhorst says improves driver feedback and response.

The interior also has titanium-faced speedometer, tachometer and gauges in the instrument cluster, and an A pillar-mounted boost gauge to monitor supercharger performance.

The interior color is Ebony with satin nickel accents on the instrument panel, shifter base and doors. The front leather seats include color-keyed perforated inserts, driver-side manual lumbar adjuster, adjustable head restraint, and passenger-side seatback map pocket.

There is also a 60/40 split-bench rear seat with color-keyed inserts and a trunk pass-through.

Langenhorst says the Cobalt SS Supercharged Coupe offers a long list of standard features, including air conditioning, power windows and locks, remote keyless entry, a tilt steering wheel with mounted audio and cruise controls, an electric rear defogger, a CD player with the seven-speaker Pioneer premium sound system, and a driver information center.

Available features will include side head curtain air bags, power sunroof, and OnStar.

It is possible, of course, that the folks at GM of Canada will alter the equipment packages for sale here, but that's unknown at this moment, and so is the price.
