There will not be. Saturn Sky Redline as the LNF but the Ion was killed off at end of MY07 and was replaced by the Astra. There is talk about an Astra Redline that might be powered by the LNF but not sure on that.

I hope the call it the VXR, like the Opels and Vauxhalls. I love the exhaust on them. Hopefully Ford will finally release a Focus ST or RS in this country. There small car division is hideous. The Verve/Fiesta looks very good imo, it's just not going to be released anytime soon.

If they release a Nurburing edition with the Recaros and everything else I think they will price themselves towards an R32 and Evo GSR range. I like the Hot Hatch look but I think the Cobalt has an old school wedge look that nobody is using other than Scion. I love to see what the Vdub crowd would say? They always throw that it's German engineered crap in your face.

there is one reason, and one reason alone why i decided on the cobalt and not the ion. the gauges being placed over the center console. i ******* hate it. if it werent for that. id have that car instead. and to be honest if they made a redline tc quad sometime in the future (with the gauges in the right place), id get a yellow one as soon as i could afford the losses of trading in my balt.

There are Talks about having the Asta XRV Stateside. I drove one of the 3 door XR that they have now, and I've also had an XRV when i was in Germany on a business trip. I would trade my cobalt in on one of those in a heart beat. The handling was amazing and the power was spot on for the car. The state side version isn't very different from the Eurospec, which is a good thing.
