Saturn ION Model Overview

The Saturn Ion replaced the S-Series as Saturn's signature compact sedan and coupe. With a roomy interior, ample cargo space, and a more powerful engine, the Ion started out with promise and developed a following among tuners when it introduced the 205 hp Red Line in 2004. However, for all the progress, enthusiasm died down as Saturn failed to make the necessary adjustments for interior materials and engine noise. Saturn made plans to discontinue the Ion in 2007 and replace it with the Astra for 2008.
