General Motors’ Vice President of Design, Ed Welburn, suggests that the Saturn Aura “clearly indicates the dynamic design language for Saturn.” And as ex-con Martha Stewart would say, “That’s a good thing.”

Replacing the forgettable L-Series will be the all-new 2007 Saturn Aura, a family sedan with stylish design, impressive power, and comforting safety features. If it looks familiar, it should – the Aura is based on GM’s Epsilon platform, which also serves as the backbone for the Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6, and Saab 9-3.

If Mr. Welburn indeed speaks the truth and the Aura is indicative of what Saturn vehicles will look like for the foreseeable future (the Saturn Sky convertible seems to back up that claim), watch this baby GM division steal any rays of spotlight that still shine on big brothers Chevy and Pontiac.

Although the Saturn Aura is technically a concept, company representatives suggest the Aura will see production for the 2007 model year.
