Yes.  You could also swap out all the trim, seats, and dashboard controls 
in your Toyota with those of your BMW.  Feasible, but not worth 
it.  Besides, the whole point of the Cobalt is its GUI, and changing the 
distro will break it.

As I understand it, Cobalt's distro is built upon RedHat 6.x, so you can 
pretty much work with it as though it were a RH box.  The RaQ3 uses an AMD 
processor, so you can use your Intel-compiled binaries just fine.
