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.

looks hot, I like it.

Now lets see a great interior and a reasonable price tag and people will give saturn a chance and this is what GM needs the most, a chance to win back some traitors.

It is worth a try though.

I guess we know what Saturn will show at NAIAS?! This is too cool.

I tried anyway...thanks!

How different is it from Enclave, and the Acadia spyshots we've seen?

As for the 325hp Aura Redline, is it AWD? I thought Epsilon I couldn't handle that?

More importantly can the 6T40 and 6T45 handle that much torque?

And is the embargo up at 12AM eastern or 12AM Central (Detroit's time zone (i think)).

 

[CobaltSScrazy]

cool, looks good kind of has the iszusu axiom / new audi suv look to it. I like it though, thats not a slam in any way.

The XR Outlook and AURA have a lot more chrome than the pic shows. Have you seen the difference of the VUE with the Chrome Package and without. A big difference! And the Redline Aura should be all-wheel drive, but that is still up in the air, but 325 hp is not.

No mention was made of the torque. I can't remember exactly, but the new transmission can handle up to either 280 or 300 ft/lbs of torque.

Usually embargos are tied to the eastern time zone - so those of us in Texas will get the pics in about 32 hours!

Sounds good. Yes, I have seen the VUE with the Chrome Package (a neighbor has a silver 2006 VUE with the Chrome Package and it looks awsome). The big question is if the pictures of the Outlook and Aura are the XE or XR. My gut feeling is that they are both the XE trim level and that GM is saving the XR for Wednesday.

Detroit is Eastern.....so....yes haha

 

[jbartley]

i am soooo excited. for saturn, no less!

 

[AdmiralViscen]

Whoo, front page news. Pretty good for a bum like me.

 

[uboys]

wow ... for a gm fans website there sure are a ton of critics LOL ..I guess I am just excited to see new product and not concerned with black plastic trim

If you were a GM fan, you'd be concerned about that alright. Black plastic and GM are like an alcoholic at a wine and cheese party. We don't want the stuff in the same U.S. state as GM.

What good is 325hp in FWD? I don't see how you could have one but not the other.

It really depends. Remember the 300 HP Cadillac STS? It used to be FWD. While RWD or AWD is preferable - the high horsepower FWD vehicles can be done. Besides, we don't yet know what the torque level will be. It might be that AWD would make the car to heavy or costly.

Besides - it would be interesting if Saturn did become an AWD line. Just imagine if all of the Redline vehicles were AWD (with the exception of the Sky? VUE, Astra, Aura and Outlook.

Either way - I will be happy if we get that engine to begin with.

 

[Vintalage]

From what I can see, it looks good.

For A.V.:
When have manufacturers shown a sneak peek of a base model? Does that make sense? This is the loaded unit.
