Another Hot Saturn: Aura concept

Well, hot for a Saturn, that is.






With a 3.6L 250 HP V6 and 19 inch wheels, it should at least be more fun than the CamCordima.

So that's why Saturn has been quite the last few years.. These cars could possibly change the whole Saturn image. These won't be typical Saturn prices though nor typical Saturn competition.

Looks like a Stratus and a 300c mated.

Looks a lot like a Acura TL or RL, at least from the front. Saturn must be trying to turn themselves into GM's small/mid size car luxury/performance line......Wonder if they'll do all that cheesy shi* they used to do, put your picture up with the car, have those big BBQ's in Ten. and I think they used to send cookies to new owners. Which wouldn't be that bad.

All these new saturns are just Vauxhallls with Saturn badges. That is a Vectra.

Saturn short for SATURATED IN URINE

I love the Saturn philosophy. One price shopping...that's great!!! Yeah if you'll pay sticker we won't haggle with you. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

What about the Saturn VUE. It's a GM vehicle with on a Honda platform with a GM tranny with a Honda engine. What a morphadite.

I still gotta believe that no matter how nice a new Saturn model looks its still going to fall apart in 3-5 years.

Guys... why don't you give the brand at least some respect. I have never liked anything by Saturn before - but the two new autos they have introduced look really nice.

Many people get stuck on "old news" GM's reliability ratings have been improving every year. Personally I've had 3 GM vehicles and had no problems with any of them. Ask someone about a Hyundai, they'll tell you that they are unreliable junk, but they're really near the top of the list in reliability now. It will take them 50 years to lose the stereotype though.

I like what this car and all the other new models point to in the future for American car manufacturers. It's like they're finally starting to catch on, but are not quite there yet.

the truth is that the only reason Gm is considered reliable is because the cars are so poorly equipped there is nothing to go wrong, unlike the new 7 series, where u get all kinds of extra new tech stuff, u can only expect some stuff to break.
either way, there's no innovation there

If only they'd rebadge a Vauxhall VX220 and send it our way... that'd be nice. GM needs some serious help over here in their car lineup... about the only thing they do right is the Corvette, and that suffers a pretty poor interior.
