Hubby either wants to get rid of the Cobalt or to pull the Camaro around!!!

Recently we were in the market for a dinghy. Wanting an automatic towable four down without modification (no transmission pump or drive shaft disconnect), minimum dinghy weight, and a vehicle that would be good for daily use, we had a short list. I have now dumped all of my research but I do recall Cobalt was on the short list. You can rest assured I saw something in writing on the Cobalt.
A question relative to a previous post. If I read it correctly, it seemed to say that a standard transmission could be towed with a drive shaft disconnect but not an automatic (Camaro was refferenced in the post which started the Topic). Why would that be? With a drive shaft disconnect, nothing is moving whether manual or automatic. Not recommending it - with a vintage Camaro I would not think about it but do think it would work if the disconnect could be found.

If hubby is still uneasy about towing the Cobalt-tell him to put it on a dolly. It's a front wheel drive car, the rear axle basically holds the rear of the car off the ground. Won't hurt a thing.

I tow a Cobalt four down. My owners manual states both manual and automatic transmission Cobalts are towable four down. You must be reading something wrong or GM has changed their mind. There are a few people on Rv.net towing Cobalts.
