referring to the posts above, the SUNFIRE is not a SUNBIRD and subsequently not the same as a chevy cavalier... [/b]
Not true Chuck. The Sunfire replaced the Sunbird in 1995. It is still the GM "J" platform. Pontiac opted to change the name along with the styling change, Chevrolet did not change the Cavalier name with their styling update.

The Cavalier was replaced with the Cobalt and the Sunfire was replaced by the G5.
