Why the ION should have not been killed

Ya Saturn. Why did you kill our car? Discuss.

My favorite car that I've ever owned and it's just hard to beat the price for the features when shopping for a used car.

I'm on my second Ion2 because some jack@ss rear ended my first one and totaled it. :(; ▶ Reply to This

The Astra shows promise, but it's hardly an attractive vehicle.

In 1967 I owned an Opel Kadette ... GREAT CAR ... marvelous (award winning) engine design.
38 horses, 36.5 mpg, no problem traveling the Interstate at 90-95 mph, easy maintenance, decent design.

I have every conviction that the (Opel) Astra is absolutely NOTHING like it.

And I will so miss the center-mounted instrumentation of the ION (what a great concept ... now lost).

The whole fiasco reminds me of that other great car, the Tucker ... now only a museum memory.; ▶ Reply to This
