GM needs to advertise the 2.2L cobalt with the manual transmission more on national commercials. I know there was talk about giving the car some kind of badge, but I think it needs to go farther. National commercials that trains Americans to associate the Cobalt with a fun to drive fuel efficient car with a manual transmission would be a positive thing.
Marketing dollars to dealerships to advertise the 36mpg 5 speed Chevrolet, and the dealerships will need to stock this car. Extra incentives should be given to the dealerships that move 36mpg Cobalts.
There should be a companywide push to move this particular setup. It's a huge selling point for a decent car that is getting long in the tooth.

thing is, i can easily get 38mpg on the highway (going 70) in my 07 5-speed LS. So i wonder if they just calibrated it differently or something....
