Continuous improvement has always been a hallmark of Saturn, and for the
2006 model year things are no different. Automotive News reported earlier this year that Saturn informed retailers at the North American Dealer Association's (NADA) annual convention that both the ION and VUE will be "refreshed" for 2006 to help make them more competitive and appealing. The move comes as Saturn struggles to keep its Spring Hill plant running, and retailers battle above average vehicle inventories on their lots. Saturn has had to shutdown the plant numerous times this year because of the ION and VUE slow sales. Sources tell SaturnFans.com that the changeover to both '06 models will happen in June, a couple weeks before General Motors' annual summer shutdown in July. The models will continue to feature their trademark polymer body-side panels, and will receive Saturn's new "piano black" stereos. The new radios will feature a front facing auxiliary port that will allow drivers to plug in portable music devices, such as an iPod.
