It’s a step in the right direction for Saturn yes, but also a step away from their heritage (if you can call it that after, what, 15 years). They stopped with the plastic panels fairly recently and while this is an improvement over their other cars, it’s also becoming another GM rebadge job.
That said, I think Mitsu did a better job with the Outlander redesign and that’s where my money would be going if I was looking for a small SUV right now.
