Re: Pontiac to price it's "Cobalt" with Cobalt SS.

Pontiac's always been into "turbo's", like the 2nd gen T/A, the mid '80's Grand Am, and the early GTP...and now the Solstice....it only makes since to use a turbo version in the Pontiac, and leave the SC in the Cobalt...to me.

Look at the Grand Prix, Monte Carlo, and Buick LaCrosse.

Or even on the Delta platform, HHR, Cobalt, Ion, Opel Astra

or on Epsilon = Malibu, G6, Saab 9-3, Saturn Aura

Those are examples of platfom sharing done correctly.

That's what I've done since I posted that, I like it better that way too..

Don't forget the Sunbird Turbo, 1989 Third-Gen Turbo T/A Indy Pace Car and 89-90 McLaren Turbo Grand Prix Coupe and 1990 McLaren Turbo Grand Prix STE sedan.

GTP actually replaced the McLaren Turbo and used the 3.4 DOHC.

Yeah, the '89 Indy Pace car with the LC2 motor was a masterpiece!
And the 'lil Sunbird was pretty fast in its day too, I test drove one back in the day. I was just turned off by how cheap the interior was...
