The Ion Redline or The Cobalt SS?
Which would you prefer? Here is info on both.
These are the specs(what I could find)Im pretty sure its the same for both
This all–aluminum dual overhead cam, four–cylinder engine is built off the strengths of the original, naturally aspirated 2.2L ECOTEC engine.
The Eaton M62 supercharger spins at a low rpm, which improves durability and creates less noise while allowing for plenty of top–end power. Power delivery of the supercharged engine is instantaneous. Maximum boost of the supercharger is 12 psi.
Also included on this supercharged engine:
* A direct–mount oil cooler
* Oil jets for piston cooling
* Heavy–duty pistons
* Strong connecting rods
* Forged–steel crankshaft
* Large oil sump
* Sodium–filled exhaust valves for improved durability
* A high–strength aluminum cylinder head
This was taken from the chevy site.
This from the saturn site.
1. 2.0-liter, supercharged and intercooled Ecotec engine
2. 205 hp, 200 ft. lbs. of torque
3. Performance springs, struts and stabilizer bars
4. Close-ratio, 5-speed manual transmission
5. Short-throw shifter
6. Oversized 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS
7. High-flow, performance-tuned exhaust system
8. 17" forged alloy wheels with 215/45Z17 tires
9. Unique fascia and side-rocker ground effects
10. Custom design RECARO Sport Seats
11. Optional XM satellite radio*
12. Standard CD w/MP3 capabilities

I'd take a Camaro over a Trans-Am because it's a Chevrolet too. Seriously, the Chevrolet name has more history and heritage than Saturn. Who cares if they're both GM? Saab is GM and you wouldn't see me sporting one of those pieces of shit.

I actually just went to the saturn dealership to see one close up and get inside of it. Its kinda nice. Recaros and you get an optional boost gauge. I think the cobalt looks more like a mini skyline. The saturn is a saturn. Im not sure though.
