General Motors is coming to New York with its revamped Saturn lineup in tow.

Production versions of the all-new 2007 Saturn Aura midsize sedan, Saturn Sky Red Line performance roadster and Saturn Outlook crossover vehicle will bow at the show. Stay tuned to autoweek.com up to and during the New York show press days, April 12-13, for all the latest information and photos of the new Saturn lineup.

The production Aura, which goes on sale this summer, is being billed as a sport sedan with a refined interior. The Sky Red Line, arriving at Saturn retailers this fall, adds the 260-horsepower 2.0L direct-injection turbo found in the Pontiac Solstice GXP. The Outlook, headed for production later this year, is built on GMs new crossover vehicle platform. In addition, a Saturn concept vehicle will debut that is intended to provide an indication of how the brands new design cues will continue on future vehicles. It will also serve as a showcase for the new synergy with GM's Opel European brand.

GM also has plans to show a Pontiac G6 GXP show car. The G6 GXP is powered by at 270-horsepower 3.9L V-6 and will feature a more aggressive appearance. GM plans to use the GXP show car to test both media and public reaction before a decision on production is made.

I think that Saturn Aura is the 1st really good Saturn. The G6 I really dont like those. It's still a Grand-Am by heart.

Grand Am by Heart? Why do you say that? Yes its based on the same chassis as the Pontiac G6, Chevy Malibu/Maxx, Opel Vectra, and Saab 9-3/SportCombi. I saw the Aura at the Boston autoshow last November and Its a very big step for Saturn from the cheapo cars it has at the moment. I think it has to take of the imports.

He was talking about the G6, not the Aura. Probably leaning more toward design than chassis.
