Default QC gets an "OK" to a "Better then the ION Sed


Well I was reading through my Car & Driver magazine for the month of November 2003. On page 152 is an article on the Saturn ION Quade Coupe. Well they gave it some high marks but yet again picked out some bad points. But they definently liked it much better then the Sedan.

A good remark by C/D
"We'd be inclined to keep the ABS and traction control ($400) and the curtain airbags ($395), but even with pruning, the quad coupe's bottom line would be a little over $17,000. Not bad for a good-looking little coupe (better looking if the ride height were reduced about three inches) with a good array of standard features."

But the best part of the whole article is...............
"But if you're interested in a quad coupe that registers on the C/D fun-to-drive meter, tune in next month, when we'll introduce you to the supercharged ION Red Line edition. Hint: The words "sporty handling" and "sport-tuned suspension" definently apply."

So we'll have to remember to pick up December issue and see what they really say about the RED LINE.

I think it's funny that they bashed the ION sedan severly, but are praising the QC. Other than the exterior body styling, there is literally no difference between the sedan and QC.

In ceratin colors I think the sedan is hot, like black. I saw one the other day with dark tinted windows, it looked good. Throw on some wheels and a drop and it would look better.
