Sister car: 05 Pontiac Pursuit
The Canadians will get the Pontiac version of GM's all-new Delta-platformed compact car before the Americans.
The Pontiac Pursuit will get the same engine options as the Chevrolet Cobalt, including 140 hp 2.2L and 170 hp 2.4L Ecotec 4-cylinder motors, along with a possible supercharged model<br>
The four-door sedan debuts first, after which a coupe will be introduced. The Pursuit sedan is set for launch in 2005, with the Pursuit Coupe following in 2006.

Needless to say, the Pursuit is just a badge-engineered version of the Cobalt.
For now, this car will go on sale in Canada only.
Here are some pics:

damn all they did is change the grill into pontiac and rebaged it. dont see how gm sells things like that. still think its a waist of time and money. with that money they could make the ion redline and cobalt ss even better. IRS, more power, more power and umm more power.

The rebadge does help pull in people like me, who would probably buy a Pursuit before a Cobalt.
I've been wondering if the Pursuit will come to the U.S., and judging by the original post, it will.

Its not JUST a rebadge, the styling is dramatically different in many cases, personally I love the styling of the Pontiac compared to even the Cobalt. I do hope they bring it to the states.

im not even sure if they are going to release a coupe cause in all the ads ive seen for the persuit its just the sedan whereas the cobalt has a commercial for all sedans, coupes

The pursuit looks nothing like the one in those pictures. It looks exactly like the Cobalt but with a different grill. The interior is the same, only every pursuit I have seen has the all silver interior, like the SS.
The car in those pictures is the GT model with 2.4L and its not out yet.

Are you referring to the Cobalt and Pursuit? They look the same to me.
Check out the pictures for each.

Yup, other than the standard spoiler on the Pursuit, the two cars are identical from the rear. If you get a spoiler for the Cobalt, then they're 100% identical other than the badging.

Uhh I think they have some typo's, they are saying 43 mpg hwy on the review for the pursuit, and for the cobalt "Four-wheel disc brakes are standard, but ABS is not standard on the base model." My base has drum rear brakes.

Well if you look at the pic they are the same... The pursuit has the same engine as the G6... but you wouldnt know that.. and i removed my posts cuz nobody really knows anything about them right now and i wasnt gonna argue about something i wasnt sure about. so i talked to gmpp today and found out that its the same rear end and engine along with suspension.
but yes.... the front end does look like the cobalt...
nothing is the same.... If everyone is putting up such a fuss saying that there the same car then why are you nagging about getting a cobalt when you can get a G6?
and dont bring up the supercharger cuz many people on the board bought a ls when they first came out.
but yes.... the front end does look like the cobalt...

They do share the same back end and both have Pontiac badging but that's about it.
Currently the one G6 engine choice is the 3500 V6 with 200 hp; the Pursuit's one engine choice is a 2.2 liter Ecotec with 145 hp. There will be a 4-cylinder G6 for 2006.
G6 info came from pontiac.com; Pursuit info from gmcanada.com.
