The new models are no better the SKY looks nothing like the concept shown in 2001, instead GM has chosen the easy route and rebadged the forthcoming Vauxhall VX-Lightening. As for the Aura it is merely a glimpse at the facelifted Vauxhall/Opel Vectra, coming out in September. Although these cars look great they have none of the unique Saturn 'DNA' in there styling. GM should really think carefully about what they are doing with Saturn and who they are targeting because just now it clashes with both Chevrolet and Pontiac. They have a brand which is both bold and innovative(a cut above the rest in GM's portfolio) why throw it away?...My first idea would be to evolve the classic look of Saturn further not totally change it.
Umm..

The 2007 Saturn Sky will use the 2006 Pontiac Solstice's chassis which is all-new.

The Saturn Aura concept looks far better than the stuff they have today.
