Who knew? I didn't it turns out that they have the exact same powerplant, but the cobalt has a new body. Chevy is trying to sell the cobalt like it is some amazing piece of technology. I bet the doors will even dent, at least the Saturn's didn't. I test drive the supercharged intercooled redline over 6 months ago, and bleh is all I have to say. It did have nice recaro seats though. So it turns out chevy decided that they could take that week engine and put it in a slightly modified body and now everyone will love it.

If anyone cared...

 

kia or saturn

 

i like saturn's dent proof pannels...

 

The cobalt SS will handle MUCH better than the Ion though.

 

It's the new corporate motor, Ecotec, and it's actually a pretty good motor.

 

It is the same engine. Intercooled, superchared 205 hp. What a turd. Chevy is trying to be sneaky.

 

Those cars share a platform, no? Cavalier, Cobalt, Ion . . . what is the epsilon? sigma? I can't remember
