It replaced the Saturn S-Series after the year 2002. It was the last car produced in the Spring Hill, Tennessee manufacturing plant Saturn had used since 1990. Like the S-Series, it had a steel unibody underneath plastic body panels, making it relatively dent and rust-resistant, as well as relatively rigid for its class. History. Starting in 2002, the Saturn ION began production. Initially, it could be bought in a few different options packages, called "levels". The base trim could be bought with no AC, CD player, power locks, and other quality-of-life features to bring the starting price just under $12,000. Trim Level 2 could be bought for under $14,000, including the previously mentioned omitted features from the base model. Like the base model, it had no power windows or cruise control, among other features. Level 3 added all previously stated features, but also now with other additions-- like remote entry, for example-- for $15,495. Any level with an automatic transmission optioned in would cost an additional $900. In 2003, Saturn sent a team to the Bonneville, Utah salt flats to break the land speed record for the "G/Blown Fuel Altered Class" of car using a heavily-modified Saturn ION. Its power output was heavily increased, resulting in a 700 horsepower ION which could hit over 212 MPH. This broke the previous record held by the 2001 Honda Civic by nearly 30 MPH.
