seeing this car in whole makes me more confident about the new Lacrosse or whatever is it called.

Make a coupe thats themed a little more Opel GTC concept and I'm sold.
Saturn will sell a lot of these...

How much do you wanna bet we don't get a wagon version in the States? I'd say it's pretty darned likely that we don't. Thanks, Bob!

That is a sexy beast.

All wheel drive and a six speed manual? Awesome!

From some angles, the Bangle Butt and Altima rear fenders and roofline look pretty good--better than the originals.
Since this has a ~5" shorter wheelbase than the current Aura's, will Saturn get a larger sedan?

Take that combo and add in a 2.0T and you got yourself a nasty Aura XR or redline.

As in Saturn....
I hope they keep it this size for Saturn. Smaller cars sell in Cali-let the Malibu be the big boy.

I wonder if the manual will be available on the Aura as well...

Nice car. The front end looks very Audi-ish.

YupYupYup · 04-18-2008, 12:11 AM

Nice.

I have a feeling the Saturn version will clean up the button bonanza of the Opel interior. Let's hope.

Still very nice.

It looks great, except I am not too pleased with the tailgate; reminds me of the accords awkward trunk. Other than that I don't think it could be executed much better.

Looks better here than in the other pics we saw. It's logner than I thought. I'll have to see it in person... I suspect it will have some unlikeable angles... but overall, I think it's pretty sharp and athletic.
