Saturn Ion: Would You Like it More if We Called it the S/Ion?

So, I'm liking the looks of this Saturn Ion "quad" coupe, and the price for the base model is only $13,490. That's with a 140-horsepower engine -- plus it has those cool mini-suicide quad doors behind the main, bigger doors [see pic below].
Now, if you're thinking somewhere in Scion tC territory, I'd take a look at the Saturn Ion, or S/Ion if we were trying too hard to be cool.
While the Scion tC does start at $16,840, that's with a 160-hp engine. You can beef up the Saturn Ion [S/Ion, aren't we cool?] to 170 hp with a performance package that will cost you $17,185.
So it's a bit of an over-under call, and you may not like the Ion, but it's worth checking out, all the same.
