New Vectra spy shots confirm Aura
We all know now that the new face of Saturn comes from GM’s European Opel/Vauxhall brands. The Vectra was the first car on the Epsilon global platform that later spawned the 9-3, Malibu, G6 and soon the Saturn Aura and was due for a facelift. These spy shots (it’s a Czech site, but the text really gives us no info other than the new nose) confirm that the Aura we saw is a preview of the updated Vectra. I always felt that the Opel style would find a great home here in North America and Saturn is proving me correct.
