Chevy Cobalt

Is this model built on the same size chassis as the Ion?.Read it
was,or,it looks like it is.

yeah there exactly the same front to back except for the body styling and
the rear doors or lack there of on the cobalt. Oh yeah and the redline has a
faster 1/4 mile cause its lighter

Reportedly they actually built it right though to make it feel like a
quality car with low NVH. My wife recently rented one and is used to driving
much bigger and more expensive cars like a 300M and Toyota Avalon and she
was impressed with the Cobalt compared to most of the crap National rents
out.

What makes the ION lighter than the Cobalt?

I myself think the ION is butt ugly but the Cobalt SS is pretty nice.

I think (or I thought I read) that the Cobalt SS (same blown ecotec as the
red line) is faster than an ION Red Line because the Cobalt 2 door is
lighter. Seem like he was saying the Red Line ION was faster than a non SS
Cobalt.

Yeah I could see how the Cobalt SS would be a little lighter since its not a
3 door. I thought he was comparing the SS to the Redline though. Of course
the Redline is faster than a normal Cobalt.

With no options, the Cobalt SS is lighter than the ION Red Line. Fully
loaded, the Rel Line is lighter.

I never got around to driving one - saw a Red Line VUE yesterday in that
wild lime green - still looks good (to me).
