With its lean, taught 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.
