2005 Saturn Ion-3 Sedan Road Test

GM's Saturn division keeps getting better. With last year's introduction of the Ion Red Line and Vue Red Line, the brand grew stronger. Now, with the significant upgrades on the Ion-2 and Ion-3 models, the trend continues. Immediately noticeable on the 2005 Ion-3 sedan is a new front fascia and grille that synthesizes well with the front bumper. Also, a more prominent Saturn badge sits in the middle of the grille which is then accented with a new chrome beltline molding. The change not only makes the front end of the Ion-3 look sleeker, it is classier. It works quite nicely.
