Saturn Ion
New for 2005

-Revised front fascia/grille (all sedans) gives more substantial, integrated appearance
-Machine facing for alloy wheels (Ion·2/Ion·3) and new chrome beltline molding (Ion·3 sedan) for more uplevel appearance
-New front/rear seats (Ion·2/Ion·3) enhance lateral support, comfort and appearance
-Various interior refinements improve appearance and harmony
-Substantial improvements to noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels based on:
-Acoustic engine cover (except Red Line) and other powertrain-related enhancements
-Use of Quiet Steel multi-layered laminate for plenum and dash
-Improved ride and handling resulting from revised steering calibration, new hydraulic rear bushings and improved front lower control arm bushings
-Larger, four-spoke steering wheel provides improved ergonomics and complements revised steering calibration for improved on-center feel
-Hydra-Matic 4T45-E transaxle replaces optional VTi (quad coupe) and Aisin five-speed automatic (sedan)
-OnStar Gen 6 hardware with upgraded hands-free capability
-Exterior colors: Dragonfly Green replaces Eden Green (Ion·2/Ion·3 sedans); Pacific Blue replaces Electric Blue (Ion·2/Ion·3); Summer Blue added as Ion·2/Ion·3 quad coupe specialty color; Chili Pepper Red added for Red Line

More excitement!

Didn't the Ion just come out.... not a good sign if they already ran back to the drawing board. http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Maybe they spilled some decaf dark black coffee on the drawing board ... and the result was this boring block of weaksauce. The grille? It's a joke, right? http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

how exciting is replacing a 5AT with a 4AT??? and they have to make such a weird name for the new 4AT so it sounds like an upgrade not downgrade
