GM Inside News Forum - View Single Post - GMI Exclusive: 2010 Saturn Aura on "Hold"

There's a posting on Saturnfans.com that the Aura will be produced in its current form until 2012-13.

There is a quote from Jill (forget her last name), the brand manager of Saturn, saying that originally the 07 Aura was to have an accelerated 3.5 year lifecycle, but now it will have a "normal" 5-6 year lifecycle.

So, once again we will see 2 new Accords (08, 13) before a new Aura! Of course, the next one could be even uglier.

Like someone else who posted above, I also have an 01 Aurora V6 (great car!) that I would like to replace in 2010 or 2011. I like the European-flavor of the Aura, and I will likely go to Ford if they can bring over their designs intact.
