2010 Saturn Aura Spied!

2010 Saturn Aura Spied!

First we saw it in the south of France, then in Germany, later in the States, and now in Sweden: a prototype of the production version of Opel’s GTC Concept, which made its debut in Geneva in 2007.

By adding two doors to the concept, this becomes the next generation Opel Vectra, which is now known as the Insignia. Here in the States, we’ll likely be calling this the next generation Saturn Aura. And even under the busy camouflage, one can easily see that the front styling and overall feel of the design slightly mimics Opel’s GTC Concept, as well as Saturn’s new face.

These photos also include the first interior view of the new Aura, which shows a careful evolution of the current car's cabin.

Based on the new Epsilon 2 platform, our sources are telling us that Opel’s version will go on sale in late 2008 as a 2009 model, but we may have to wait a bit longer here in the States to see the new sleek Saturn make its debut.--Brenda Priddy & Company

    Just curious, but why does GM keep up the charade calling Saturns, Saturns? Buick used to sell Opels - it has been awhile - but why not just convert Saturn stores to Opel stores? Right now I get a laff at the Saturn TV ads.

    Why does it matter if they call it an Opel, or a Saturn? Seriously. Do you also get a laugh when you see a Vauxhall in Great Britain and it looks identical to an Opel? Do you laugh when you see a Lexus GX and you know it's really a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado in the rest of the world? C'mon, let's get real. There's legitimate critique and there's just silly whining about stuff that doesn't even matter.

    Yeah, I had to "laff" at his comment.
