Forget everything you know about Saturn's slow plod into mediocrity. Though the Aura is technically labeled a concept, this one goes into production next year in time for a summer introduction. Built on a long-wheelbase version of the same chassis under the Pontiac G6, Chevrolet Malibu, Saab 9-3 and Opel Vectra, the front-drive sedan is powered by a 3.6-liter 250-hp V6 mated to a six-speed tapshift automatic. Thanks for the Euro styling cues go to a team made up of designers from GM's European and U.S. studios. As a combo package with its sibling Sky, this duo was pretty close to taking home AutoWeek's award for Most Significant.



I just discovered this concept car. It really has a lot of promise. I wished they would offer a manual 6speed though. It does look good I have to say .. wonder how much it is and how it'll stack up against the SE-R.
