Saturn Aura
The Saturn Aura is a mid-size car that was produced by Saturn. It debuted as a concept car at the North American International Auto Show in January 2005. The production model of the Aura was shown at the 2006 New York Auto Show in April, with production commencing in North America in the summer of 2006 for the 2007 model year. The Aura replaced the Saturn L-Series, which was discontinued after the 2005 model year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Saturn L-Series on Consumerguide.com )〕 Although Saturn had never intended to use the Aura name for the production vehicle, the name ended up sticking as a result of the popularity of the concept.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Saturn Announces New "Outlook" for Future Portfolio: Also Confirms "Aura" Name ) 〕
The Aura was considered an important model for both Saturn and General Motors.〔(Saturn is ready to turn a profit )〕 It was part of a product rejuvenation for Saturn intended to make the brand profitable as well as competitive with European imports.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rick Wagoner explains in this video what he has planned for the Saturn brand )〕 Reaction to the Aura was positive, both in terms of reviews and sales.〔
The concept used a 252 hp (186 kW) 3.6 L V6 and a new ''6T70'' six-speed automatic transmission.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Saturn Aura concept auto show unveiling )〕 That powertrain was offered in the production model known as the ''XR''. Also introduced was the 3.5 L V6 with 219 hp (163 kW), down from 224 in 2007 in the ''XE'', and the hybrid 164 hp (122 kW) 2.4 L inline-4, down from , in the ''Greenline''. The Aura, developed on the GM Epsilon platform, was available only as a sedan and is built at the Kansas City, Kansas, Fairfax Assembly plant.
This vehicle was discontinued after the 2009 model year as a direct result of the Saturn division being terminated for that same year. It was later revealed that a second-generation model based on the Vectra's replacement, the Insignia, was due to be released. However, with the discontinuation of the Saturn marque, the Insignia was offered to Buick, who released it as the fifth-generation Buick Regal.
