Big Improvement for GM
General Motors' new line of minivans that debuted for 2005 got the top safety ratings from their recent testing by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. All four of the new vans — the Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana, Buick Terraza and Saturn Relay — earned overall "good" ratings in the institute's frontal offset crash test, the highest rating the agency gives.
Relay Runs First Leg of Saturn's Product Race
The name is significant. Relay. It suggests that the newest offering from Saturn is going to help transport the General Motors division out of the past and into the future and thus bring new life to an automaker starved for new products almost since it began selling cars in 1991.
Saturn Re-emerges
If a vehicle can be considered a "coming out" party for a brand, then that's exactly what the Saturn Relay is. The so-called crossover-sport van (CSV) is the first Saturn that can hold over five people. It can contain seven in comparative comfort. It is also the first to forego polymer body panels for steel. (Yes, yes, fascias are still plastic. But you get the point.) And the Relay is the first of four vehicles that will transform the company's offerings in a 24-month period.
