For 2008, Chevy has carried out some noticeable changes in the Cobalt's interior and exterior. For this year, what we get is either a two-door coupe or four-door sedan. The LS and LT models, which were withdrawn, have been brought back with a 2.2-liter, four-cylinder engine delivering 148 horsepower. If this is a reintroduction, the earlier stock model, the powerful SS Supercharged, seems to be still in storage. The company says this is to make way for more developed next-generation Cobalt models. Another change is that the SS has been rechristened Sport, and is now more powerful at 171 horsepower.

While the five-speed manual transmission is standard across models, the four-speed automatic is optional. This applies to all of Chevrolet Cobalt's six models - LS Sedan, LS Coupe, LT Sedan, LT Coupe, Sport Coupe and Sport Sedan.

Metallic paint, back door mirrors that can be adjusted by driver and rear passengers, halogen headlights, and body-colored front and rear bumpers are some of the standard external features in Chevy Cobalt. Interior features include a fixed mast antenna; RDS audio system with satellite and CD player; and a computer that reads average speed, average fuel consumption and the average distance the car can be expected to run.

The Chevrolet Cobalt is equipped with anti-lock brakes, anti-skid system, traction control and curtain side air bags.
