1996 Saturn SL2 Test Drive
After four successful years building buyer loyalty, Saturn launched its second generation of cars. The Sedan and Wagon got the full treatment for 1996, while the Coupe carried on with few visual changes. The Sedan’s curving roofline was torn from contemporary styling headlines, and it boosted headroom, too. All the shapely new body panels – fenders, doors, nose, and tail – were made of slam-happy polymer material, just the way Saturn owners liked em’. Beneath the skin was a modern five-place interior riding on a retuned chassis. Other than the addition of OBD-II electronics, a smarter automatic transmission, and better smoothness, the powertrains were largely carryover.
