Reports surfaced in May 2009 that General Motors planned to eliminate the Cobalt SS as early as December 2009, but they proved to be untrue. At first release in 2004, the supercharged version was praised for its performance but drew criticism for its interior quality and exterior styling, both described as too reminiscent of its predecessor, the Cavalier. In a 2013 review, journalist Patrick George called it the best compact car ever made by General Motors, and a potential "future classic". The Cobalt SS received generally positive reviews, particularly the turbocharged and supercharged versions. Production of the supercharged coupe continued until 2007, and after a brief hiatus the SS relaunched in the second quarter of 2008 with a more efficient and powerful turbocharged 2.0 L engine producing 260 hp (194 kW 264 PS) before all Cobalt production ended in 2010.
