Coupes don't have four doors. Period.

Saturn's in denial.

What about the RX8?

I saw one today, I detest these cars, but the lines of the back door actually improves the overall look of the ion.

I really don't like the Ion sedan. The coupe is meh. And the thing I hate most about the Ions is I swear there are like 30 different options for the rims (or hubs), and 90% of them are fugly fugly.

I think the L was the only real winner Saturn has come up with so far. The original S had its place, and so does the VUE, but neither were to exciting.

Saturn also needs to sync up their design cycles. We have the newish L, the new Ion with new body style that takes some cues from the L, and the damn VUE that still follows all the old body styles. It's mostly due to the VUE's late introduction, but I really think this is a big mistake on their part... it just looks bad.

EDIT: I'd also like to point out that with the intro of the Ion it is apparent Saturn and Nissan are sharing designers.

OK, Mazda too

I'm glad to see the rotary come back, but that car's too funky for me

The Redline version of it looks interesting.
