Something for the Ion folk...

Have any of you Ion owners ever seen one of these? I have two of them, got them years ago. I wish they woulda made a Cobalt like this.



BTW if this is a repost or whatever then feel free to delete.

That's becuase they only came in blue.

I've got close to 10 of them.

Because 05redline above bought them out -- all ten of them It's all about marketing, if they knew they'd sell well they'd make them. a few people on this site that want them aren't enough to go into mass production.

This has been around before....several of us sent e-mails to the company that made the initial run of Cobalt models. They never responded or made any more.

I meet the Hotwheels PR chick afew months back and kept tell her all day that they better make a SS/TC Hotwheels car.

...Only time will tell but if it comes out Im taking all the credit



Also, I emailed about 5 different diecast model car companys in the past and none had the Cobalt as a future car to produce...but that was a while back now.



Here's a pic I snapped of her (Hotwheels PR lady), she came out to one of our Karting events.



Im glad I picked up one of these ultra rare SS Balt models a few years back...I added a few mods to it (Painted it black, lowered it, deleted the rear wing and debadged it)

She was moving really fast around a half circle... So I stood in the middel of it and just moved the camera at the same speed of her....also the shutter was open for a few sec too.

It took about 5 tries to get it to turn out so well.

Actually, this Hotwheel car is just a regular Ion, not an Ion Redline (although it does have the Redline wheels). They handed these out at a car show as a PR move. This was when the Ion was first being introduced, back what 2003? The Cobalt based on the Ion, came out after. Mainly it was a PR thing just to ring in the new Saturn Ion, not to ring in the Redline. I have one myself and am willing to also part with it.

No it doesn't. They're just a split design 5-spoke.
