Saturn ION

FIRST LOOK: SATURN ION
The first official pictures of the Saturn ION compacts hit the media today ? but until the brand?s press conference, more details on the new GM compacts are thin. What?s for sure is that the four-door ION will be followed by a new coupe with two rear-access panels (call 'em doors if you must), and GM?s 137-hp 2.2-liter Ecotec in-line four will be found in all models. The sedan is six inches longer than before, riding atop GM's new Delta platform. A five-speed manual is standard; a continuously variable transmission is available and a five-speed automatic will be optional on the ritzier models. Hipness has been baked into the ION's style: interchangeable roof rails will be coordinated to similar dash panels, and the speedo is mounted atop the center stack. Stay tuned for more on the brand?s new entry-level car and its unconventional styling in and out.

It's definitely much more edgier than it's predecessor. Not sure if it'll give the Civic/Focus/Corolla a run for it's money.

The exterior is not too bad, except for the C-pillar which looks funky, and the different color for the side rails... The interior is a total joke though. Center mounted gauges? WhoTF thought that one up? :disgust:
