The Saturn Astra
#21
Saw one last week at Northgate. The tire/rim combo and stance really impressed me, but the motor offering blows goats. Given the performance of the Ion RedLine and the Cobalt SS (different platform, I know), I expected more of the powertrain. 1.8L and 18" wheels does not a barn-burner make.

If there's a RedLine version... it has potential.
