Saturn, the newest division of the General Motors Corporation, was founded in 1985 and started producing cars in 1990. Unlike other GM divisions, Saturn initially concentrated on small, efficient cars to provide stronger domestic competition against Japanese imports. Since 2000, Saturn has diversified its line with the L-series mid-size car, built on the same platform and using the same engine as GM's Opel Vectra, and the Honda-powered VUE sport utility vehicle.

The Saturn ION compact debuted in 2003 with sedan and 'quad coupe' models, the latter featuring a pair of small rearward-opening doors behind the front doors for easier passenger access. In 2004, Saturn introduced a performance-oriented version, the supercharged ION Red Line. In 2006, Saturn announced another Red Line model - the two-seat, turbocharged 260-hp Sky Red Line sports car.
