Just doesn't do it for me......but then neither does the Toyota Celica either.

 

It's a little busy for me.

I think the rims and wing look good but i have never been a fan of aftermarket ground-effect kits.

 

Looks sorta ricerish to me.
I wouldn't buy it.

 

Funny thing...

Saturn's SOLE plant is here in Tennessee, about 30 min. south of Nashville in a community called Spring Hill.

Saturn has been all over the local news here lately because they've been caught using local roads in Maury County and Spring Hill for "test tracks".

 

Correction: The Saturn L-Series is built in GM's old Wilmington, Delaware factory - the same place that used to turn out Chevettes, Olds 88s and Corsicas. So much for the Saturn concept.

Anyway, this new Saturn is enough to underwhelm any redblooded muscle car enthusiast. Better looking than the Toyota Celica? That beauty contest is a real race to the outhouse.

The good news is that future Ion owners can kick their cars to their heart's content. Those "dent-proof" tupperware body panels are good for something, I guess.

 

Keep the wheels and start from scratch on the rest.

 

Heres a better picture of it http://www.saturnfans.com/photos/sho...hp3?photo=2429

 

I like how someone responded to the whole car with this simple comment:

"i like that paint job "

I agree. The paint job looks good.

 

Looks like a pontiac and an oldsmobile had a baby. I dunno, a little to busy for me.

 

Is it my thing? Nah. But for factory rice, that's a nice little package there. And if its getting the supercharged Ecotec we're talked about, then I think its going to sell well.

 

Well, OK, you got me, but it used to be their only plant

 

I guess Im in the minority here, but I really like the way that looks aside from the little swooshy thing in the door. It kinda gives me a gen1 DSM feel.

 

Again, I'm sure it will appeal to the import crowd, but I don't see it as having any design legs (example: how classic does a 1994 Mustang look now compared to a well kept '93?).
