2010 Saturn Aura Put On Hold
Posted Jul 14, 2008 @ 11:09 pm
It appears the General has put the brakes on the 2010 Saturn Aura redesign. Based on the Opel Insignia, the 2010 Aura was to be more upscale and a whole lot sexier than it's current incarnation. It would have been the first vehicle stateside to ride on the new Epsilon II architecture.
The Fairfax, KY plant had been scheduled to begin production of the new Aura in mid 2009, but last week the plant received word that this would no longer be the case. Rumor has it that GM is rethinking the Aura's powertrain for fuel economy reasons in light of $4.00 gas.
All we can say is that it's disappointing to see such a good looking car be delayed in a market where GM really could use some help.
