This just my perspective, but the cobalt doesn't seem to have as much forethought to it. It's like they took the redline, slapped bigger rims on it, changed it to steel body, and gave it a normal gauge cluster.
The funny thing is from what I've seen the cobalt ss is 300 lbs heavier and about .3 slower on the quarter. Further, I'm not sure the suspension is modified to compensate for the changes of greater unsprung weight from the rims and the additional weight of the steel body.
I *suspect* it will be nowhere near as neutral and balanced as the redline ion. I think it will just appeal to a less meticulous type who want a honda front end and corvette tails.
Just my opinion. I *WOULD* like to see saturn in a horsepower war with chevy though. If they can't get one going with honda or the imports they should pick a fight locally
