Curve Approved for Production
January 9, 2004

The Car Connection reports this morning that General Motors has already approved the Saturn Curve sports coupe concept for production. The confirmation came from GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz less than a week after the Curve was unveiled. The sports coupe will be built alongside the 2006 Pontiac Solstice at GM's Wilmington Assembly Plant in Delaware. Pricing is expected to be around $20,000.

Wilmington currently builds Saturn L-Series sedans and wagons. The L-Series will be discontinued in 2005. A new 5-door midsize car based on GM's Epsilon architecture is rumored to be in development.

Saweet! I wonder what type of changes they're going to undertake. The interior is too different for todays standards.

Finally.

This strays quite a bit from the traditional Saturn styling which is not necessarily a bad thing. I think I like it!

I especially like the fact that the A, B, and C-pillars aren't body color, so the body color roof just floats on a dome of glass. Sorta reminds me of what people in the 50s thought cars would look like in the future, if you follow that.

That is great news. Hopefully the production car won't differ too much from the concept.
