nope, the ecotec saabs are FWD, the awd ones are subaru engines, or some rare v6 turbo.

saturn VUE!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't realize it was already said but they don't look that much wider than a cobalt but did they ever make them AWD with a manual trans cause that would be a sick swap!

Stfu, maybe you should look at the ligit argument... He did not say his car was faster, **** sakes, reading comprehension.

his argument (emiller) was you could buy 2 cobalts for the price of an evo or STI... he (Nismothecat) simply stated that was wrong by saying he bought his evo for a few thousand more than an SS/TC. Not that the evo was a faster car...

Got it now?

no, they were automatic only, but an auto can be faster with just a stall and a shift kit. It would come out of the whole pretty hard actually. would be great for drag racing, not so much for any other sport.

Sorry to disappoint you...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_Alpha_platform

You think CTS/V and Camaros are hot now, wait till the next gen arrives...

As for AWD, I wonder if the LNF would fit in a Cyclone or Tornado?

LOL, get all worked up over nothing why don't you. i just stated that i bought my car for few thousand more than a SS/TC. so you cant buy 2 Evo's for the price of a SS/TC. if i could get a Corvette for about $30k i would do it, but i don't think that is gonna happen.

vues are available in awd, manual and with the 2.2, i just dont know if they were all available together.


As far as the vibe and matrix thing those cars are weird cuz the matrix is actually on a ford platform, its basically a Focus. So what does that make the vibe? hah

The question is why do you even want awd? Are you pushing that much power that a well designed suspension and tire setup that you can't hook up. And if you are pushing that power are you ready to deal with the problems of awd. I have alot of friends with evos and stis some are stock some have gt37r's and every single one of them have blown a transfer case or tranny or axle or differential and that is on a factory system designed from engineers i don't even know what kind of problems a backyard awd kit would have.

good point... how reliable would it be? but does it matter when the parts are coming from junk yard saturns? I mean I am not rich but I can afford to break my cobalt on a monthly basis cause it's cheap, but if I broke my r180 rear diff in my sti it would cost about 360.00 PRICEY, not to mention there's twice as many parts to break and replace, that's why I own a cobalt lol GENERIC MOTORS FTW!!
