Yes, the Ion Red Line is intercooled. It even brags about it in its ads. Yet, I don't think their intercooler would work for our cars. I am just guessing that it being only 4cyl. and DOHC that the intake manifold is completely different.

O yes, and I drove one. A little touchy clutch, very light but requires a lot of throttle. Anyhow, it was amazingly fast and a VERY fun car to drive. Stock it didn't have too much whine, but we can fix that!

Its not the same vehicle as the Cobalt. they are on a shared platform. The chevy equinox and the saturn vue likewise share a platform, but they aren't by any means the same vehicle. The Cobalt is a much better car all around than the ION from what I understand, though I've never driven either.

What are the differences? Other than interior and body.
EDIT: By which I mean what makes the Cobalt a superior vehicle?
