I too think this is a good thing. Owning an 06 Ion Red Line, what Chevy is doing with the Cobalt brings it up to the testing done with the Red Lines originally. The Ion was tested at 260hp but 'detuned' for the market due to fears of high insurance costs and gas mileage.

The Kappas have their own identity and I agree with others that GM using this engine in others shows their commitment to it and will increase its realiability and support.
