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.
