Saturn Engine Clarification

The current S-Series uses a Saturn only 1.9L either SOHC or DOHC depending on what trim level you get.
The L-Series, VUE, and new 2003 ION (replaces the S-Series) use the 2.2L version of the Ecotec family. Saab says they started with the 2.0L version of the Ecotec (only available on Opels as far as I know) but that most of the internal engine parts have been redesigned probably to handle the turbo.
Yes, the 2.2L Ecotec is a sweet engine, very happy to rev and smooth. I haven't driven an ION yet but that engine in such a light vehicle will be very sweet indeed. I can't wait to get behind the wheel of one with CVT or 5spd manual trans.
Take it easy,
Atul
