This is in order for it to compete with the new Lancer Ralliart which has the same power plant as the new Evo X, but with a smaller turbo and less aggressive cams, but still comes with the badass SST trans.

Plus it's always good to have the extra safety of AWD even if you live in FL for when it rains.
The Road and Track I just read is a comparision between the '09 WRX vs. '09 Cobalt. The '09 Colbat is the faster, better handing car. In fact Road and Track called the 09 Cobalt SS the best little car they have ever tested, beating the MazdaSpeed 3, the Lancer Evo, and the WRX.

Used is almost always better, but I see two problems. 1) The 09 models are upgraded. 2) Used pocket rockets scare me because some 18-25 yearold has probably beaten the living crap out of it.
