I removed the "2008" section, because everything stated there was either old rumors, or once stated plans, all of which have changed, resulting the the entire "2008" section being false.

Th 2008 section is false, the Spring Hill,TN plant is NOT closing in 2008!!!

I would like the Ion Redline page restored and linked to this one - the Ion Redline page had way more information on the Redline package than the existing Saturn Ion page. It seems that whomever combined the pages lost all of the pertinent info on the page regarding Stage Kits and Production Numbers of the Redline models - if someone knew a way to reverse this redirect and keep the pages separate, it would be helpful. 142.59.238.144 05:57, 13 March 2007 (UTC)Ian

The Red Line article was mostly just production and part numbers, which in itself is unencyclopedic. Check WP:NOT#IINFO. Please save that kind of info for external websites. Check Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution for how such an article could be properly done - although I doubt you'll get that much notable info out of the ION. --Vossanova o< 13:19, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I disagree - why it obviously may not mean it requires its own section, the Redline information that was included on that site was not even carried over to the Saturn Ion section. I checked your link to "What Wikipedia is not" and I don't see how Production numbers of the Redline and Engine/Part specifications are in the least bit any different than listing the production numbers of the Porsche 959 and the specifications of the most recent Lancer Evolution X engine. I don't mind that the sections were combined at all but it seems to be a disservice to have that information removed because you "doubt you'll get that much notable info out of the ION". The information we had posted in the Redline article was specific and accurate and elaborated no more than other car pages - at the very least it could have been organized into a sales chart, rather than removed entirely. Just my opinion. 142.59.238.144 05:52, 28 March 2007 (UTC) Ian

Saturn ION → Saturn Ion — MOS-TM guidelines. No evidence that "ION" is an acronym. —Fatsamsgrandslam (talk) 15:26, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
