help Saturn FAQ

When was Saturn created, and when did its first car arrive?

General Motors established Saturn Corporation on January 7, 1985. The first Saturn rolled off the Spring Hill, Tennessee, assembly line on July 30, 1990, ahead of the 1991 model year.

Why did Saturn use polymer body panels?

The S-Series used dent-resistant polymer exterior panels over a steel spaceframe. This helped minor impacts leave less visible damage than on conventional steel panels, although the plastic could still crack.

Which cars belonged to the Saturn S-Series?

The S-Series included the SL sedan, SC coupe, and SW wagon. Saturn produced the family from 1991 through 2002.
