i think thats one sweet car. The more i look at it, the less i like the Cobalt SS. Theyre almost the same thing minus a few pounds. I would rather get the Ion Redline than the Cobalt SS. Think about the ricers that will have their jaws drop when they get beaten by a Saturn out of all things.

 

Actually, I still like the Cobalt SS. The back end is niiice, and since I saw that photoshop of it, I can't stop drooling. SS for me.

 

i would never get a saturn...just turns me off when i think of them being plastic

 

I like Ions and i think them being plastic is kinda cool

 

I checked them out. But I have to say this car has more Style. And as sad as it sounds. Its a SATURN.

 

I dont like that center speedo gauge thingy :?

 

agreed!

LMAO at Lunchbox, I swear he says “I would rather have car (Insert car name here) then the cobalt” in every post!

 

now now leave the kid alone i do like the RL tho and it being plastic is a great thing but saturn is phasing out the plstic body in favor or steel

 

I'll second that!

I like the interior and exterior of the Cobalt way more then the RL. And it'll be cheaper in Canada too. The only way I'd take an RL was if they gave me one, otherwise I'm set on the Cobalt.

 

well i still think that saturns are crap

 

I agree. Everyone I know that has had one said the same thing. And im not going to spend 21,000 on a SATURN and HOPE its not crap. We all know Cheve. makes good cars and trucks.

 

I don't know why, but Saturn's have some of THE worst resale values I've seen. A Saturn SL is worth far less then an equivalent j-body car. You'd think that the plastic panels and such would make for better resale, but I guess they are just ugly and quirky enough that the market is too small to support higher priced used Saturns.

 

so what. im just being open minded about which car i would get if given such money. plus, i really would get the redline before the cobalt, i just like the way it look in person but i still have yet to see a cobalt so you never know, it might change.

 

He wasn't bashing you bro. We are talking about the same platform here, so I think Ion RL people would be welcome too. A car enthusiast is a car enthusiast. And a true one should have a respect for all tuners and their cars. If you like the RL, more power to you. I'd like to see you driving one around and posting your mods and track times. That'd be a beautiful thing.

 

Agreed. I'd like to see some Redline guys on the board, would be nice to ask them some questions and get them to try stuff for us!

 

Well as long as you like it, thats all that matters

 

i might have seemed to come off a little anger but i knew he wasnt bashing me. and i wasnt mad so its all good. also yeah, i forgot to ask, will this site be avalible to Ion RL owners to to post about mods and such? i think there should be a different section for redline owners

 

$21k and 21k miles later and your left wondering where that rattle is coming from.

:twisted:

 

Bring them over guys

Oh and me and Lunchbox are tight!

 

YugoRepublic Power! lol the redline is totally awsome. its like a ninja and the cobalt is a pirate. we will never know which one is the better of the two, but they are both one in the same. i just wish they came with a little more hp

 

I have to say I havent test drove the car. Has anyone here done it? How was the handling.... Besides it being a Saturn, How is the car over all? :?:

 

Hey guys, first of all since this is my first post here, I'd like to say hey. My name is Valentino (Val for short) and I drive an 04 saturn ION sedan.

Now that that's out of the way, I was going to chime in on this thread. I have test driven a redline for a lengthy period of time, and I can tell you it feels awesome. The handling is tight, the ride is better than the SRT-4 I test drive (more smooth and handles bumps better), and the car feels more refined. The recaro seats kick a$$ and hold you in place very well. The redline comes with a short shifter that feels very solid and precise. I suggest everyone to go test drive one for yourself. It will basically feel like a cobalt SS when your car comes out. I was impressed with it, although to be honest, since the car felt so smooth, you don't have that feeling like your going that fast, until you actually look at your speedo and realize your going faster than you thought.

Nice site, think I'll stay awhile.

 

cool glad to have you here
