The fiance and I opted to trade in my '99 Oldsmobile Alero for a new Saturn Ion sedan. Little stuff was starting to break (interior trim and cosmetics, as well as some electrical) on the Alero, so it was time for it to go.

The Ion has about the same displacement and horsepower as the Alero (2.2 l, 140 hp) in a subcompact. This little sucker is quick. It's the same engine they are putting in the base Grand Ams now as well. So, we are now a two-Saturn family. She has a 1997 SL sedan. :-)
