Ya, let's see how it holds up. American value-engineering has not historically produced anything that lasts so great beyond 5 or 6 years. Especially with that kind of power on tap, I wonder how the driveline is going to wear.

Is the new Cobalt SS the same setup? My friend wants to trade his supercharged Coby in for the K04 Turbo'ed one. I didn't know GM's Stage IV gave those results. Not bad...but stick with the AMG please. Different league.

Is there a doctor in the thread, Do Saturns cause homosexuality?
Is the Bimmer3vert syndrome spreading?
I think I saw one the other day, is it like the Pontiac Solstice?

You can thank Opel for the majority of GM new releases, even the G8 looks pretty cool from Pontiac. However, the whole issue of it being a Pontiac would probably keep me away from it. But it is a Opel counterpart. Saturn also has the Astra, which is an Opel Astra.

It's a hairdresser’s car. Astra turbo is better if you’re that way incline

Not sure about the SVT stuff or cobras, but I had a friend with a GT that was around the same year, and that thing was always acting up. I went for a ride in it, and with 60k miles the valve chatter that you could hear through the dash was already so bad it sounded like a coffee pot. In retrospect, it reminds me of Kumar.
We have a navigator that needed to have the whole engine pulled and rebuilt at 22k miles, though thankfully it was under warranty. My first car (and last american car) was a jeep grand cherokee ltd, and that thing had an a/c fan control module that caught on fire in traffic when I was in high school. People were cracking on me for months over that one.

I think it is bad luck... they really aren't so bad... Just different
