What were they trying to do with that interior? It all looks like a mess, nothing looks good with the other things.

I think you mean the Saturn ION Redline, not Neon.

IMO the exterior profile of this car looks like a current series Honda Integra (Acura RSX) from some angles.

Hmmmm....... the jury's still out on its overall styling though.

Isn't that just a riced-up Cavalier? Or is it a Chevy twin to the Saturn Ion? Either way, I see nothing to get excited about.

It's going to be a popular car for teens and young people that want to get in the tuner crowd but have a little redneck in em. The supercharged version if probably going to be VERY easy to make faster.

it looks like an ECHO

The wing doesn't help it any either. I really wonder who is to blame for the design - too much input from upper management? The design people would know it looks too conservative.

Correct.....it is the TC. I know that GM and Toyota are sharing the TC platform. This same platform is also being used for the Pontiac G6.

Actually, the tC is built on the Toyota Avensis platform (click for more info) while the Cobalt is built on the new GM Delta platform (click for more info). The two platforms are not the same. Also, the G6 is based on the Epsilon platform as it is a mid sized car and so is too big for the Delta platform.

From what I remember reading te performance numbers are nowhere near the srt-4's. I don't think GM will ever get it right.
