Expert Reply:
For your 2005 Saturn Ion with rear spoiler I recommend the Hollywood Racks Express # HRE3. This rack is easy to use and lets you carry 1 or 2 or 3 bikes on your trunk up to 35 pounds each. I have linked a video review of this rack for you.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # HRBA-PRO. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wifes bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my sons bike at all.
