I partway agree with you on that one. The american car market is starting to go in the right direction... But still not quite getting it... its not all about making a 4 cylender fast... its all about going fast PERIOD... And a Supercharged V6... Even a 2.8 Liter would be insanely fast. and fun to drive... make it under 25K and you have my vote for one... depending on if the car isnt ugly or not.
Can I say "GTP"..... 
Maybe I should have said "Manual Tranny, and atleast all wheel drive, since rear wheel is probably unrealistic." Also, the GTP is supercharged, but really not any more powerful than my SVT when stock...I suppose I should have been a tad more specific...
Despite the fact that the GTP is 20X more mod friendly than the SVT? 
99 SVTC, T-Red, #652/2760-12.8.1998
Mother#@%@!* did I sound abstract?
I hope it sounded more confusin than that!

So you want a fast, stock, supercharged, RWD/AWD, 4 door? Hmmm....how about an Audi? Other than that, which isn't in your $25k range, I don't know what else to say....  Maybe a WRX? Oh, wait, that's turbocharged, sorry.....Damn picky Americans.

Exactly my point...All the cool cars are either too expensive, 4 cylinders, FWD, or automatic, or coupes...Is it too much to ask for a RWD, V6, manual tranny with FI for under $22K??

Damn you folks are short sighted and close minded. It's a destroked 2.2L ecotec. (meaning it can actually REV and REV quickly!) It has a grossly underrated 205HP (more like 240) in a 2600-2700lb car. It has a very flat and broad TQ curve from the roots blower with intercooler. "Supposedly" it will have different gearing then the weak offering in the Saturn. If not there is already an MTX that can be swapped out with much better gearing. (hence why it's "supposedly" suppose to get it since it's already a GM part) It's based on the European Opel platform and YES that means it handles well from the factory. It is NOT the typical GM body roll car.  (I know the wife has an 02 Z24 and even with the full Eibach setup it's only passable) I think this car (MINUS THAT WING!!!) is a great addition to the market and more ammunition with a domestic flavor. (the SRT-4 raised the bar a TON!) It's definitely a jump up for the aging J-body platform. (GM's entry level) They were great for reliability but getting very long in the tooth and never much in the handling department. Yes I would like to see a 4 door version a well...

the new "cobalt" looks just like an updated cavalier. this reminds me of an old saying, "you can't polish a terd"....no matter what you call it.
