2008 Saturn Ion

[KA24DE]

The much-maligned ION is being redesigned for the 2008 model year. Still built on the Delta platform, it will share many components with the Opel Astra and Chevrolet Cobalt to save costs. It will be offered with the ION's current powertrains: the Ecotec 2.2L and 2.4L, with manual and automatic transmissions available with both engines.

GM has run into a problem regarding the Lordstown plant that will build GMX002. The Cobalt alone is currently almost at the plant's capacity, so either Cobalt buyers will instead buy an ION, or ION production will be lower than the 113,000 units forecasted. It was scheduled to be built at the Lake Orion assembly plant alongside the Pontiac G6, but was changed because of cost issues. Production starts in August 2007, with the program scheduled to run for 4 years (MY 2008-2011).

So a mini Aura?

The hatch is an Astra. If Saturn brought over the Astra VXR/OPC as the Redline version, I'd break down the doors at the dealer to get one.

They also probably wouldn't be able to sell any Cobalt SSs either.

[VolksFaggin]

looks like a caliber/matrix.


I was thinking those 2 with a splash of TC

if they're built with some decent quality interior materials, they're gonna be some pretty damn nice cars... they look good in the pics, at least

Wow. The General is really putting some spice into Saturn. Thank you Opel/Vauxhall, for existing.

No, GM is basicly Badge Engineering.......but this time it's gonna work! lol

Saturn = Vauxhall/Opel
Pontiac = Holden (RWD MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Also to the guy that said "It looks like <insert random car here>" - NO! it looks MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH better - I'm lovin' the "Skyish" taillights.

Saturn is becoming the "Young Man's" brand and I'm lovin' it - GM is getting it right!!!
