Introduction
Known in Europe as the Opel Corsa, the Saturn Signal is one of the new models in our expanded Saturn lineup. As evidenced by the growth in subcompact vehicles for sale or planned for sale in the US market, customers have been desiring small, fuel efficient vehicles. Signal is Saturn’s entry into that market and one of Saturn’s niche models. We know now that the next generation Corsa will be sold in the US as a Saturn, as it will be designed to meet safety and cost standards required for sale in the US. Knowing this, including the Corsa as a Saturn was a must for our Dream Saturn Lineup. Fitting in smartly with the rest of the Saturn lineup, the Signal is an upscale subcompact with beautiful design. It’s RL (Corsa OPC in Europe) model should be the only sports subcompact on sale in the US market. XE, powered by an 125 HP Inline 4, is the inexpensive fuel sipping base model. XR the upscale model of the lineup, is powered by an 145 HP Inline 4. XE and XR models are available with a diesel engine. The la test Corsa has just been introduced, and the next production generation model won’t debut until around MY 2011. The name for the subcompact Saturn being brought to NA is unknown; whether it will carry the name Corsa is yet to be decided.
