Thanks, had to take a second job. Thanks to all you guys my car is running great and I can get to both jobs. I get one or two evenings a week off and it always is different. Usually I just crash but I wanted to catch up on things.

Phoo, mine came out the Mazda and I would not have one on a bet. Some quiz. Of the 7 cars I own, none of them are remotely similar to a MAZDA.
Of the choices that came up, my personal first choice would have been a TransAM, an old transAM, a pony car not that wanna be pretend badge engineered Opal out of Austrailia.
A more modern chice would have been a Colbalt, they are a whole lot faster than people think they are and rumour has it that they were strongly considered as a replacement for the S model Saturn.

Unc the COBALT is on the DELTA platform and replaced the Cavalier J platform. So that basiclly means the ION was converted to carry steel skin and renamed the Cobalt. Now the Delta platform is going away to be replaced with the new Delta II platform. So the Cobalt could have not replaced the S-car seeing the ION used the platform before the Cobalt did.
PS: The ASTRA is also on the DELTA platform.
Delta Applications
Current and former vehicles based on this platform:
2003–2007 Saturn Ion
2004–2009 Opel Astra
2005–2011 Opel Zafira
2005–2010 Chevrolet Cobalt
2005–2009 Pontiac G5/G4/Pursuit
2006–2011 Chevrolet HHR
