Saturn stole design? Vice Versa?!

Ok.. So I happen to be one of the people that kinda like the 04 Max, but I'll have to reserve judgement in person. But, if you havent seen one, get a load of this:

This stupid Saturn looks like (at least from the back/side) a golf-cart sized 04 Maxima. WTF?!

Well seeing how the Saturn is on sale now, and 04 Maxima is not, it would appear Saturn/GM came up with the Ion design first. It is a little Altima-like, but otherwise not too dissimilar to other GM offerings, mainly the new chiseled Cadillac designs.

The inside of the Ion is CHEAP. The guages are stacked in the middle like a Toyota Echo. cheap cheap cheap
