So I take it this isn't the same 2.0 Ecotec that the Cobalt SS received, given the bump in horsepower. Then again, maybe it just makes more power w/ the turbo vs. the S/C? From what I've heard about the current Solstice, I can only imagine this is going to be a brilliant car.

thats not bad at all. i cant wait to see what the stats are on that. and i think it is mainly becuase of the turbo that it produces more than the ss or redline, but i was never really into ecotecs. this is what the sportcompact world needs, a small turbo rwd car thats really fairly cheap. i dont know the mazdaspeed miata never really took off, but thats about the only other one i can think of.

No the MazdaSpeed Miata really didn't seem all that popular (although to be fair it's a great car too), but that may have been a result of the aftermarket for the Miata by the time they released it (my estimation, don't really know).
