I know they say that imitation is the best form of flattery. I just saw the commercials for the new Saturn Ion. Anyone else think it looks like the new Altima? Even some of the Hondas are starting to take notes from the new Nissan Altima as well.

I thought that was a commercial for the new Maxima the first time I saw it.

The whole Ion looking like the Altima didn’t upset me as much as the Accord. The Accord commercial claims that it is innovative or trend setting.. something like that. Unfortunately for them, the redesigned Altima was out before theirs.

haha, yes and i used to like the new accords, but the 4doors are absoluteyl HIDIOUS!!!< the 2dr isnt as bad, but the taillights are a ripoff of mercedes to me, and the altima is quicker and handles better, so for me no contest :)
