WTF Chevrolet.com

Ok, Im getting pissed off. I know there are tons of 08 SS/TC here in lower Michigan at the lots. I went to a dealer and she showed me a 3 page list of them that I could choose from.

Why the **** then when I go to chevrolet.com and go to their vehicle finder and select 2008 cobalt SS Coupe and enter "Detroit" as my city, do I only get results for Sport coupes. ? Anyone know where I can see inventory for actual SSs?

I've emailed GM's advertising group that manages the website and here's part of what I got:

We are aware of the website issue you mentioned and are currently working to correct it. At this time, we do not have a time frame for the website to be updated, but work continues to resolve the issue and improve the usefulness of the website. We apologize for any inconvenience this has been.
And that was received on June 17th. Sooooo I don't know.

build an SS then it will let you search inventory for one. If you don't build one first and do a search they don't show up. Hamilton has a Low wing bright red one sitting on their lot. I also saw them prepping a sport tint red one a few days ago.

I don't know why the chevrolet site is jacked up like that but it is.

Exactly. After building an SS/TC I think you click on find a vehicle. For whatever reason if you just search it doesn't find the SS/TC's

Had the same problem. Go to AutoTrader.com and search for Cobalts with Manual Transmission over 21K.
