2009 Vectra (Aura)

The refer to it as the Insignia at Motor Authority, but isn't it expected that the Aura will remain similar to the Vectra?

Yes, the Aura will remain similar to the Vectra (Insignia), but we aren't going to see a major redesign of the Aura this soon in the product cycle. I'd look for a new Aura around the 2011 model year.

Even some of the worst car duds (96 Taurus and Aztek come to mind) lasted at least four years. The Saturn L-series got a moderate facelift after three years, but nothing like we're seeing in the photos.

There's nothing so wrong with the styling of the Aura that warrants a quick fix.

Motor Authority apparently knows nothing.

New Aura in 2010 with a new interior to hold us over until then in 2009.

It kind of reminds me of the Benz CLS.
