Full Test: 2005 Saturn Ion Red Line All told, the Red Line is a well-rounded, if not very refined package — ripping performance, confidence-inspiring handling, a decent ride and great seats make it a choice for enthusiasts on a budget. And for 2006, the price has been lowered about $1,500, making the '06 version of our test car listing out at $21,770.
