2007 Saturn Aura Green Line

With the new Saturn Aura being this years North American Car of the Year… what better way to celebrate and at the same time bring in some more car sales by releasing the new Saturn Aura Green Line – Saturn’s newest hybrid vehicle. You cannot ask for better timing with this release. Look at your local gas station’s price board. It is outrageous! People are already taking a liking to the new Saturn Aura and not to mention all of the interesting commercials being generated in front of our new gaseous plasma screens in our living rooms.

The new Saturn Aura Green line gets an EPA-estimated 28/35 mpg (city/highway). Roughly the same rating as the Honda Accord Hybrid but less than the Toyota Camry Hybrid’s 40/38 mpg. The new Saturn Aura Green Line gets what the techs at GM call a mild hybrid system that supplements the car’s four-cylinder gasoline engine with additional power from an electric motor/generator when accelerating. This means the car never moves on electric battery power alone. The total HP output is rated at 164 and is said to be plenty as it is a system that works seamlessly.

If you are in the market for a car like this, or you just want to avoid some of the backlash of the extremely high gas prices then this is the car for you. If you are looking for “improvements” outside the realm of saving money or gas, than the Saturn Aura leaves you a little behind in that aspect as they did not change or should I say “improve” much about the few grips about the Saturn Aura. Prices start at a low $22,695 which is pretty good considering this is still a variant of the current year North American Car of the Year.
