I always liked the VUE. Can't go wrong with a Honda engine
The new Sky looks fantastic in person as well as in pics.
The new Aura looks fantastic as well.
Saturn may have figured out that American cars don't need to be bland or ugly to look at. Way to go GM!!
I hope Saturn does well with these cars.

The Aura from what I read is based on the Chevy Vectra we have in Mexico (would be Opel Vectra in other countries). It is a darned good car in terms of quality and value.
The one called the Astra is also based on the Astra we have here...in fact it is a new model now, but the Astra along with the Vectra are a light year ahead of the rest of the Chevy lineup down here.

Sad to say, but the best looking lineup Saturn ever had was their 1991 launch. The cars were attractive, original, and well-built. The Sky is eye-catching, but the rest of the lineup is boring.

I would drive a sky in a heartbeat. Good for Saturn! Their designs are improving. I wasn't aware that the Vue had Honda engines but then again, I don't pay that much attention to them.

Well, that's fine, if you guys like them, but the problem is that they aren't SATURNS anymore. They are redone Opels, Chevies, and Pontiacs....essentially just another generic GM division instead of Saturn's former distinctive designs and features. For example, the nice dent/ding-proof plastic side body panels....gone exept for the Ion and VUE....and the next ones won't have them. The ingenious and convienent spin-off transmission filter.....gone. The unique Saturn-designed DOHC 4-cylinder......gone. The personalized customer service at purchase time .....gone. Fortunately, GM's bean-counters have not ( yet ) taken away Saturn's 30-day money-back guarantee ( I actually used it once ) or no-haggle sticker-pricing....in fact Scion actually copied the no-haggle pricing.

So I guess I am the only one! I just was looking at their cars inside and out and while they are NOT the same Saturn that debuted, they seem to offer, IMO, solid products and a good price and IMO, their lineup looks good. To me most car lineups either look ugly or are a copy of something else.

The Aura is on my review list. Though it is not a " real " Saturn, (essentially a redone Opel/Pontiac G6) a number of you seem to like it, and I've read some good things about it in the car mags.
