Actually my neighbour just picked up a new ION1 in red today. Looks very nice in red as well.

Chucky, I posted my comments on your other thread; posting it here too in case.

I really like the blue color and the front grille.

I hope you really enjoy it! Congratulations!!!

Congrats on the new ride.  It's nice shade of blue.   

You don't have to worry about busted window regulators with those crank handles.   Also you'll have no problems opening the windows to escape should you drive into a flood or body of water.

Good ones! Or when it's freezing outside, you can always get your windows down if you need to - no chance of not being able to open because the electric mechanism is stuck.

I agree with everybody: very nice blue. The last refresh on the Ion exterior was well done. According to the local Saturn dealer, the Ion is by far their best seller.

Congratulations! And enjoy the new car smell!!!  :drive:

But with those really big panel gaps, the car will sink like a rock!  I won't have time to get out!

I'm sad to hear Saturn is discontinuing their polymer panels. I had a 97 SL1 and a 2002 SL1, and I thought the plastic body was the best feature. That and the dealership experience.

When they go to steel there will be almost nothing to distiguish Saturn from other GM's.

I thought polymar panels were a great feature too. As you say, it and the dealer experience set Saturn apart. It was the rest of the car that was underwhelming.
AQUAMAN64 also posts on BDFD.com!
