Personally, I've always liked the design of the ION dash, and it was only the materials that let it down. Here's what it could have looked like with a better finish. The center A/C vents are too far apart, maybe they could put some buttons between them, but I like the fresh, French funkiness of it.

The new-age Saturns are too generic-Euro-with-a-Japanese-interior, IMO. I only wished they could have kept some of the original Saturn identity and added the sophistication to it.

I'm half/half on it. Yes, it's a lot better than the original and a little bit better than the update but it's still not at the level it needs to be.

Reminds me of something made out of Playdoh.

If it were pink, it would scream "Hello, Kitty" like a banshee.

Just like Japan itself. Hello Kitty wouldn't be a bad thing, especially with the female crowd. Think of it this way. GM has a division that favors mens style (Pontiac), why not one with bright airy sytle for women.

The G6 was designed by a group of women.

Ummm...no. That just looks like crap. Period. :puke:

What ever happened to that gorgeous interior we saw a shot of like a month ago? I admit, the interior is definitely funky, and it would definitely sell to some, however, it's just cheap looking. Then, there's the whole center speedometer/tach... SO many have complained, yet they put the new one there too? STUPID. I like the looks of the new speedo/tach, but it's location must be moved. I agree there is too much dead space between the center vents. Maybe a nice dully-lit, LED-illuminated word, "ION" would be great there.

Interior seen on the old Sky concept from a few years back. This is the direction of the Saturn brand before they switched gears and aimed at VW. You can tell that the Ion was the beginning of the transition. I'm glad they didn't make this. It would've been too quirky for me to handle.

Well, maybe. Ion Fisher Price Edition.

Ummm...no.

Agreed.

Don't worry, it's nothing like that. :AH-HA_wink:

Thank you.... :)

Ion interior = barforama

I almost forgot about this. For those who didn't see it when they first were shown on the website, this is what the Ion should look like. So I guess this is just pointless.
