SL does mean something to Saturn, who sold a car by the name of SL, in
addition to the six you mentioned. As has been mentioned, it had the
same engine as the SL1

The SL was the bare bones, few options version of the SL1. Manual

The automatics have tranny cooler lines, but there are not in the 5-speeds.
