Yeah that is a pretty sweet looking car. I think they will bring the turbo version, but maybe not the first year.
We are not getting the turbo, we are not getting the 2.4L with 164 lbs of torque and 175hp that we now have in the Saturn ION-3 as an option. We are getting a 1.8L 126lbs of torque and 138hp 2,900 pound slug. I'll bet anyone we do not see engine improvements untill 2010.
