Great sneak peek!!! I like it! I also like the tag line. I can't wait to see more!!!!

BTW - for all the doubters - the front end looks very different from the Enclave. Plus - this will be production trim. I can't wait to see the rest of the exterior and the interior shots.

 

[boblutzfan]

Looks like the base version, judging from the fog lights.

I really like it.

I like the fog lights better on the Outlook than the Aura shot we have seen. Also there seems to be more of a gap between the chrome strip and hood - like we were hoping. It loks very good.

 

[boblutzfan]

I really like the new agressive look. No more boring Saturns. The Sky has brought Saturn some conquest sales. Will the Outlook achieve that too?

I'm sure it will. The Outlook and Enclave have the best chance of conquest sales. The Acadia will appeal to the up and coming existing GM clientel. The Enclave will appeal to the Lexus crowd while the Outlook is the ideal vehicle for those who have outgrown their Honda Pilots, Toyota Highlanders and Nissan Murranos but don't want a minivan.

The interior styling / quality will seal the deal.

 

[boblutzfan]

Cool. So now we have seen the very front and the very back of the Outlook.

Perhaps different parts of the same exact vehicle, since they're the same color.

If it is the same vehicle then it is in fact the base model...notice the badging?

Outlook XE. We know that on the Aura the XE is the base and XR is the uplevel model.

Maybe Saturn is leaking pictures of the base (XE) models only to introduce the XR to impress the fans and media. This is a smart strategy... under sell - over deliver.

When are the press days???? I can't wait.

Press days begin on the 12th, but if you go to Saturn's website you can sign up for a preview on your cell phone tomorrow.

 

[boblutzfan]

Hopefully it doesnt look like an isuzu axiom

I hightly doubt it.

 

[boblutzfan]

The Outlook and Aura are the two vehicles that will save Saturn - not the Sky. So when will Saturn drop the Relay? Hopefully soon.

According to Edmunds.com, the Saturn press conference is 11:25 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, 4/12/06, to unveil the production Aura, Outlook, and Sky Red Line.

I hope that the embargo will be lifted at 12:01 AM on Wednesday morning. Any word about that? If so, I will stay up since it is only 11:01 AM here in Texas. Watch the evening news and then see the new Saturn lineup. I can't wait.

I don't see the "black plastic" It appears that both grill and foglamp surround are both charcoal in color. Personally I like it. It is better than one large mass of color on the front of the vehicle.

 

[boblutzfan]

Hope it won't be a crossover

Where have you been? Of course the Outlook is a crossover. It is based on the Lambda architecture that will underpin the Enclave and Acadia.

 

[boblutzfan]

You guys will love the whole thing when it comes out!

Have you seen it? How about the interior?

The bumper is integrated into the front facia. Saturnsteve - do you know what time tomorrow the cell phone pics will be sent out?

 

[boblutzfan]

I' m holding off on any comments until I see the full frontal, side, and rear views. But judging by the overall shape of the test mule this would be a great direct competitor with Chrysler Pacifica and Ford Explorer.

Don't forget the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander and Ford Freestyle.

 

[boblutzfan]

Cool. So now we have seen the very front and the very back of the Outlook.

Perhaps different parts of the same exact vehicle, since they're the same color.

Here's is the other picture that was shown a few months back.

 

[boblutzfan]

The anticipation of these new vehicles (Aura and Outlook) is bringing out the worst and best of the members of this site. It is like we are waiting for the last chance for a future for the brand or something....

Oh yeah, we are. None the less, we can all be a little less worked up until we see the full pictures of both vehicles tomorrow night.

 

[boblutzfan]

Tomorrow night? I thought it was wednesday morning around 11 am..

Anyways, speaking of best and worst, its do or die for Saturn. Last chance IMO.. Expect a cessation of this brand if things dont work out (in few years ofcourse)

The official debut is on Wednesday morning at 11:00 AM. Usually, the embargo is lifted at 12:01 AM the day of the debut. That would be tomorrow night. I am just assuming that will be the case. Saturn is releasing a few images tomorrow if you sign up with your cell phone. I have done that, but have no way of getting images from my phone to the computer. Hopefully someone does and those can be posted tomorrow.

 

[boblutzfan]

From what we have been told around 10-11am eastern time. Wait till you guys see the new VUE concept too!

Cool - thanks for the info.

So what can you tell us about the interior of the Outlook?

Also is what we have been told about XE and XR trim levels true?

XE = base
XR = up level

Thanks.

 

[boblutzfan]

Reminds me of a Audi Q7

It is hard to say - but I see some similarities - if you can say that only seeing a front quarter view. I am dying for some more pics. I can't wait to get the cell phone pics tomorrow... less than one day.

 

[boblutzfan]

The trim levels is correct. The interior is nicer than the SKY. You guys will love it! The trim levels will also apply to the AURA too. The REDLINE AURA will come out after the first of '07. It will be at least 325 hp:yup:

Great news on the Redline Aura. So do you know what trim level the Aura and Outlook pictures are? They appear to be XE (at least for the Outlook) is this correct? If so, that means we haven't seen the XR yet - which should be even better.

 

[boblutzfan]

Where can you sign up for the updates on the cell phone?

This is the website - but is says the deadline was today at 12:00 est.

It is worth a try though.
