Something I noticed

[jaycizzo]

Last week at the dealership I noticed that they are selling normal Ion QC's (non RL) with the RL body kits (front bumper, aero wing, etc.). Not sure if this was already done with older models. Personally, I'm not a fan of the all-show, no-go concept but to each his/her own.

What do you guys think about this?

yup old news, but good eye they've been doing that for a little while at this point, everyone here, myself included don't like it one bit :P

Ther not completely all show no go, those are the 2.4l vvt models. Kinda of like the Cobalt SS non-SC. They have 180hp, so thiere not toys. Nothing like an RL, but sill not toys.

I bet you could get some really mean power out of one of those and a turbo

btw you can't really call them all show and no go, simply because they aren't particularly riced out o ranything, that very well could have been the original ION design, I think the thing that irritates more is the fact it looks almost EXACTLY th esame as the IRL. and the 2007 models even moreso

i dunno if they're steelies, but they're crappier, but I don't think any different than the 06/07 RL regular ones.

and even if they are, they have a LOT of options for wheels

I thought the only other Ion engine option was the 2.2L with 140HP or 145HP if it's an '07.

nah there's a 2.4L which is what the RL clone uses, the only engine if I remember right that it uses

btw it's not a 180 hp, it's a 170 :P
