Should Saturn Offer a Coupe and Wagon Version of its Next-Generation Aura?

[Charlie]

New renderings representing possible coupe and wagon versions of the next-generation Saturn and Opel midsize cars have been posted online (http://www.saturnfans.com/cars/aura/sneak-peak-should-saturn-offer-coupe-and-wagon-version-its-next-generation-aura). Do you think Saturn should expend the Aura's lineup beyond just a 4-door sedan and offer them in North America? Post your thoughts.

Thanks,
Charlie

YES.

But only if they offer a convertible too! Hardtop like the G6.

Pretty pretty please?

Definitely a wagon! With SUV sales tanking due to insane gas prices, wagons make sense. This one in particular is the best wagon I have seen in years.

[ChgoBlues]

The wagon would be a good alternative to SUVs. The L-Series offered just as much cargo room as the Vue but in a car version. I agree too with rising gas prices, this could be a good alternative to the lust for larger SUVs. It would also be a cheaper alternative than the Saab, Volvo, and Audi wagons on the market and just as good looking.

The coupe version, YES!! Plus I think this would offer a greater range of product to increase Saturn's resurrection. It definitely would be a great altenative to Toyota Solara. It would also give those not wanting a sedan a choice.

Bring them, and bring an OPC version to boot.

By all means YES! It's high time someone at GM/Saturn pulled their head out of their ass and green lighted cars like an Aura coupe and wagon.

But don't stop there. Like Spazie pointed out, a hardtop convertible should also be included. An AWD wagon, like the Subaru Outback, should also be a part of a full line of Aura midsize cars. And yes, I vote for OPC/Red Line versions of all models.

We shouldn't have to say please. GM, Saturn, just do it dammit! :yes:

:us:

SATURN needs to get back in the game to compete with Honda! Because that new Accord coupe is pretty awesome!

We had two SUVs(Outlook and Murano) and recently downsized to a more fuel efficient wagon/hatchback. We looked at the Astra but the back end is to small and short and ended up going with a Pontiac Vibe. If Saturn would be coming out with a car like that in a year or two we probably would have waited. I agree they need a hatchback or wagon that has more room.

YES

I've been driving a 95 sw2 for 5 years now, and it's the next best thing to a small SUV.

[Joep76]

Definately... Yes. :yes:

The couple looks great from the renderings I seen.

Also a coupe version for ASTRA also.

Some poeple just don't like hatchbacks.

Give the americans a choice. :us: Why doe Eurpeans have to get all the good stuff?

[BobbyP]

YES.

But only if they offer a convertible too! Hardtop like the G6.

Pretty pretty please?

Presto chango... Just rebadge it... A wagon would be tougher until the next Episilon chassis arrives.

2 door coupe Aura Redline would be nice

[s-seriesguy]

2 door coupe Aura Redline would be nice
If it came with a true manual and had a turbo or supercharger.

[OnDaGround]

it would probably sell really good. The MPG of a car, but the space of a minivan. It may be worth saturns time to invest in one.

[Misplacedcowboy]

ABSOLUTELY!!! I would buy a sharp looking 2 door Hard Top Aura in a heart beat. GM needs to remember what happened when they brought out the original 2-dr Hardtops in 1949. Wake up, GM start doing the magic again that made you the largest corporation in the world.

[adventureoflink]

HELL YEAH!! I'd be all over that wagon in a heart beat. Bonus points if there's more rear passenger room, lots of cargo space, they keep the M shifting option, and/or AWD. :D

Why? So people can take these new Saturns, fix em up, and go race all the Hondas? :ugh::snide:
