Introduction

Saturn Aura Green Line – 2007 Review: There’s a lesson we all learn as adults: If you’re going to be late, you sure as heck better have a good excuse. The culprits are usually traffic, disagreeable kids, or maybe one of those frequent chainsaw accidents. Whatever it is, the offender promises to make up for it by working late, rubbing someone’s feet, or opening up his wallet…wide. Since those approaches aren’t appropriate, Saturn will need to come up its own ideas on how to compensate for the tardy and unimpressive arrival of the 2007 Aura Green Line, a four-cylinder hybrid sedan that offers lower real-world fuel economy than any of its primary competitors.
