Saturn is the latest to showcase their first SUV into the market. The highlighted features on this sport utlity combines the "space, security and versatility of a traditional SUV in an efficient, intelligent, fun-to-drive package" according to Saturn.
To provide some initial background, Saturn was created for two reasons:
To develop innovative new products for customers who might otherwise not consider American-made vehicles;
To build lasting relationships with customers through a retail network that would reinvent the way cars were sold and serviced.
"In keeping with this spirit of innovation, Saturn has developed an SUV that will help define a new segment in the SUV market. Customers have told Saturn that they love many things about traditional SUVs - the higher seating position, good visibility, ample space for people and cargo, and sense of security. The Saturn SUV is designed to provide all of these benefits - and more - without the tradeoffs typical of truck-based SUVs. The Saturn SUV is an all-new vehicle, unique to Saturn. It will be built in Spring Hill, Tenn., and will go on sale at Saturn retailers nationwide in the fall of 2001."
