Default It's my buddy.. lives up in Seattle. There is another in town, who imported his a few years ago.

My friends has the US spec with the 2.0L GM supercharged engine... the other one is the honda motor. Apparently, there are 4 more US spec Atoms slated for Seattle.

Default So the US built models don't have the VTEC motor? Hmmm. I'd be a lot more

confident buying a supercharged Honda motor than some suped-up Saturn piece.

Default The VTEC motors are too high strung... very high compression. The GM motor

is very reliable.

Default I see. Just got an email from Brammo today saying their good deal pricing from GM ends at the

end of the year, and that the car's price will increase $4500 for all orders placed after Dec 29.
