Saturn Reviews

Saturn was brought into General Motors’ extensive portfolio in the 1990s as the automaker’s answer to the industry’s move toward smaller cars. In an attempt to be a “different kind of car company,” Saturn introduced “no haggle” pricing to build customer trust. 

The first car from Saturn was the compact S-Series that was available in sedan, coupe, and wagon body styles. Saturn then expanded its lineup with the midsize L-Series sedan and wagon. The brand continued to focus on sedans and coupes with the Ion, which replaced the once-popular S-Series. With its car lineup doing well, Saturn looked to expand again with the compact Vue SUV and Relay minivan. The aggressively styled Sky, which was based on the Pontiac Solstice, gave Saturn its first sports car. 

In more modern times, Saturn continued to grow with small cars such as the Aura and Astra, while introducing a new large SUV with the Outlook. Unfortunately, the automaker’s new vehicles weren’t on sale for long. As part of GM’s reorganization efforts after filing for bankruptcy protection in 2009, the automaker attempted to sell Saturn. A deal to sell Saturn didn’t materialize. The brand stopped making vehicles in 2009 and was officially dissolved in 2010.
