(from General Motors
Press Release) With its lean, taut bodywork stretched over
a long wheelbase and wide track, the all-new Saturn Astra has an
undeniably sporty stance. Fortunately, its European-inspired driving
dynamics and energetic 1.8L Ecotec engine back up those aggressive
good looks with commensurate performance, making the Astra prime
material for all-out tuner treatment. Saturn got the ball rolling at
SEMA with the Astra Tuner, a concept vehicle that applies some of
the latest bolt-on performance and appearance components to show
whats possible with this all-new compact. The Astra Tuner is based
on a production XR three-door and features approximately 20 more
horsepower and a lowered ride height. Numerous exterior enhancements
including 19-inch wheels give the car a racier look. It may be
the first, but this unique Saturn certainly wont be the last
personalized Astra.
