Every week, TheCarBlogger will choose a vehicle that is capable, stylish, and has value all in one. TheCarBlogger will also look into how significant the vehicle is towards the industry and the company itself.
This week's Car of the Week is the Saturn Aura. Saturn, the underdog of GM, introduced the Aura mid-size sedan last year. It wowed many for its sleek styling, capable powertrain in a reasonable price. It was a GM that imports found fear for. Albeit having some material issues, especially inside with the plastic syndrome, the Aura proved that GM was not in a coma just yet.
The Aura sweeped the 2007 North American Car Of The Year Award and many other awards from different publications. It might still lack some tidbits of what a mid-size sedan needs. But the Aura is one of GM's deserving accomplishments.
