Reply #149: Yes, the Chevy Cobalt and Saturn Ion are similar designs that share a lot of parts,

but what else is new? Are you going to tell me is that a Chrysler Town and Country is a dressed up Dodge Caravan, and that the GMC Suburban is virtually identical to a Chevy Suburban? Say it ain't so!

We were talking about the original Saturns here anyhow (the SL/SC/SW series), and if you didn't notice, I was in fact relaying my positive experience with my '94. I said it wasn't as polished as a Honda or Toyota, but that it worked just the same. And now, 15 years later, I'd guess that they've improved the perceived quality quite a lot through nicer interior parts and materials.
