I think this thing will KILL the ION, and I hope it does. The ION is a horrible little car for Saturn, a huge mistake. And when they redesigned it after a few years of poor sales, they never fixed the biggest problem, the center mounted gauges! They should also bring the diesels over, they would have a market in this country as an alternative to hybrids and the batteries. GM and DC are working on a joint venture with this car as well, a diesel electric hybrid that promises about 60 MPG with no loss in performance. 0-60 in 8 seconds (what the regular Astra does).
