You were expecting it to look exactly like the concept? GM said it would look 90% like the concept, and I think they were correct.

"The production car is now just a safe, middle of the road, perfectly nice Saturn."
Wow, couldn't have summed it up better myself. And because of that, it will sell in droves. Why? Because, if you've noticed over the past 10 years how many "safe, middle of the road, perfectly nice" CamCords have been sold, then you'd see GM"s reasoning.
Now, does the concept look better? Yes. But, will the production car appeal to a larger amount of people? Yes again.
If you want the concept car's looks, wait for the RL.
