First Look: Saturn AURA Concept

Quote, originally posted by Saturn.com Â»The AURA concept sedan reflects a new generation of Saturn vehicles. With sculptural, assured lines on the outside and a warm, well-polished glow on the inside, the Saturn AURA can make any commute a little more alluring. The following pictures are from GM Inside News:

My thoughts:Not bad...But I'm not liking what's going on with that interior!

They're trying to make it look like a cross breed of the Saturn Sky and the G6. I think.

Interior def. doesn't look right, but outside looks pretty sharp. Inside needs some other color matching outside. That leather look just doesn't go. Otherwise:

I like it. Saturn is getting better and doing good job.

The interior looks like 'early english sports-car', the exterior looks like G5.9999999. Are they kidding?

Otherwise: I really like the interior! Finally...a Saturn interior that doesn't shout "I'm cheap!" The brown leather thing is very BMW, but the shapes inside are very VW...good combo in my opinion.Not so hot on the exterior...it's ok, but it doesn't come off as a cohesive design. The rear end looks like the last Olds Aurora (not a bad (removed)) but I'm not real fond of the tail-lights. The headlights are cool...looks like they came straight off a 5-series BMW, but the face smiles a little too much...the headlights are too agressive for the smile created by the bumper line. The roofline and overall proportions are good though...kinda like the last generation Audi A6.Having said that, it's the first Saturn that I'd take a hard look at. The acid test would be what's under the hood though...if they take the Honda-sourced V6 that's used in the Vue RedLine, that'd be a great engine in a pretty good package.

Not bad, but I am still not a fan of Saturn

Are those fender flares on the sides of that thing, or am I just seeing things? GM: Those are pretty nifty on trucks, but I think they kinda look like dump on a car. The front and rear shots are kinda hideous due to the way the fenders stick out so. But I LOVE that color in the first set of pics up there! The dash looks pretty neat... But I just don't like that poopy brown thing going on elsewhere inside.Saturn, you impressed me with the Sky, this car - well, that's another story. IMHO of course!

To me, the front looks like an Acura TL, the back looks like Mitsu Galant. Not bad things.I'd look at it, but would never buy a Saturn. I don't like the one-price sales theory.

not being very perceptive, I think it looks like a dozen or two other cars already on the market.Now if I saw either of these two on the road I would notice themChrysler FirepowerJeep Gladiator

Looks like Saturn hired some Chrysler boys

It's not bad -- a step ahead for saturn (if they redo the interior), but it can't compare to the SKY!
