What year was the first Chevrolet Cobalt LT?

I work as a car mechanic, and my bay-mate and I are ruthlessly competitive. We were fixing a Chevy Cobalt LT and arguing about when it debuted—I say 2005, he says 2007. When was the first Chevrolet Cobalt LT produced?

The first
Chevrolet Cobalt LT
did indeed debut in 2005. What did you get with a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt LT? Let us take you down memory lane for some Chev-ified reminiscing.
The Cobalt was designed as the sportier, better-built, and slightly more up-market heir to the Chevrolet Cavalier. It was known for a smooth, composed ride with a sporty feel, unique to cars in its class. The first Chevrolet Cobalt LT’s MSRP was $18,195, but you can find a used 2005 model nowadays for between $2,000 and $4,000.
The Cobalt LT sports a 2.2-liter 4-cylinder Ecotec engine with 145 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque. The interior is stylish, especially for a car of this class, but there are some plastic interior elements that look cheap. Overall, the Chevy Cobalt features solid cornering prowess, good handling, and decent steering feedback.
The 2005 Cobalt LT came standard with:
  • Leather seats
  • CD player
  • 7-speaker Pioneer audio system
  • Chrome trim
  • 16-inch alloy wheels
  • Air conditioning
