New Saturn Ion looks like new Nissans

Anyone see the new Saturn Ions? The profile kinda looks like a c2004 Max or Altima, or at least styled similar to new Nissans.

Saturn ads have always been lame. Fat midwesterners and near Downs syndrome type people. Like I really want to be associated with that crowd.

hahaah, i saw that commercial and it caught me off guard too...i like that song in the commercial...makes me want to cry...leaves me at peace

IF ANYTHING, they should bring back that JAPANESE GUY holding the umbrella in the 4th gen commercials and 3rd gen...any REAL maxima fan will recognize him and it will bring back a union of love for us all...i miss that dude
