Road & Track East Meets West RSX vs. Cobalt

Road and Track just put up a comparision between the Cobalt and the RSX. They had good things to say about both cars but they gave the Cobalt the overall win. I thouight this was a little interesting compared to the Car & Driver article which had nothing positive to say about our vehicles.

"That aftermarket look continues on the outside of the SS, where a large intercooler sits prominently in the nose of the car..." best line. Yes that "large intercooler" out front is defiantly there

Oh well, that means less sold and greater rarity for the ones we own, which if we keep in mint condition COULD (I emphasize that) increase the value of the car in 25+ years (lol, gotta be realistic, it IS a Saturn).

I'd rather drive a car that is bad ass an unknown. There won't be a lot stolen or wrecked keeping my insurance down. We can mooch the aftermarket from the Cobalt. Can it get any better?
