Cobalt SS 2.4 vs Pontiac G5

I just noticed they come out with the pontiac G5, not quite sure how long they've been out on the market, and it seems to look almost identical to the cobalts and have roughly the same bhp as the SS 2.4 liter. So, the G5 or the SS?

I wish the G5's came with our tail lights and your rims. My aunt is going to buy a maroon colored 5 speed G5 when her RSX sells.

Cobalt. It is the original, not a GM rebadge. No offence to the G5 owners, but it shouldn't have existed because it is closer to the Cobalt than the Sunfire ever was to the Cavalier.

I cant believe how many people like the tail lights on the cobalt. I like the G5's a lot more, but I love the look of the front of the Cobaalt. Look at mi6's sig, last pic. BTW his sig is what convinced me to want a black bolt

The main reason I like the balt tails is because thet are unique(except the vette) and still keep the car with a clean look to the back of the car
