Chevy Cobalt.

Sport Compact said the Ion Redline (and its sibling the Cobalt) handle worse that a 1913 curved dash Oldsmobile.
 
anyone know when these start coming out at dealers...My rents are buying my sister a car, and that looks liek it would be great for her. The cavalier is CRAP(blarf)

I really like the front end but the back I would change a little bit. And I didn't see that is was RWD, that is badass!

Also that rear wing looks so close to a 3.5 MSP....but it's funny how people hate it lol.
 
Yeah, the Solstice looks pretty good. I got a flyer at an auto show a few months ago. I have it right here...

"A taut, two-seat roadster powered by an Ecotech 2.4 liter engine. With vvt technology, it generates up to 170hp for an impressive amount of acceleration."

"A stance of more than 60", optional limited-slip diff., and 18" wheels."

The front end looks kind of like an old Porsche Speedster.
(It says this is the pre-pro version, so it will probably be a little different.)
 
i test drove a saturn ion before they came out with the redline and the handling was well nothing like what i have now and what sucks on saturns is the value of the car depreciats faster than any other car i know of but i would like to test drive the cobalt SS might be fun talking about test drives my mom test drove the cadillac STS and DAYMN that thing is bad ass they want 60,000 for it fully loaded and i hope my mom buys the damn thing thats all i got to say
 
yeah, the IONs SUCK, I hope the redline is SOME kind of improvement.
The s-series was so much better. My 2000 SL2 with 2.5" drop, front and rear sway bars, and front and rear strut braces handled better than my P5 did stock...
 
The solstice (forget spelling) was dissapointing though. I read a test article and it sounds like a well balanced car but it doesn't sound special. Apparently it ended up almost as long as a vette (boom04)! Also it the target weight was 2800-2900 and the Hp was targeted at like 170. So much for the small light roaster :(. The article was kind of a kill-joy for me.

And that is good to hear the cobalt is FWD cause that was confusing the hell out of me.

From what I read about it the handling was dissapointing and the performance in straight line fell somewhere inbetween the MSP and the SRT-4.
 
my roomate is going to get one, i'll write a review up when he gets it. He's gonna be sad that my msp is alot faster though...
 
by the time he has it 325+ to the wheels, his cobalt can suck my balls...it brings a tear to my eyes..
