Saturn was introduced by General Motors in 1990 in response to the rise in popularity of Japanese import cars in the United Sates. Cars from Saturn may not be too stylish and trendy as other modern cars but they have unique design and solid construction that make each Saturn vehicle a stand-out in its own right. There were two main lines of Saturn cars: the S-series and the L-Series. The Saturn L200 belongs to the L-Series, which is a line of larger Saturn sedans and wagons. Although larger than the S-series, they fall under mid-size car segment of the auto industry.
Prior to the 2001 upgrade of the L-series, the L200 was called the LS1. It was a front-drive 4-door sedan that is based on the Opel Vectra platform and was built in a GM plant in Delaware. The Saturn L200 makes use of Saturn’s conventional dent-resistant and rust-resistant polymer panels, which is one of its foremost advantages over other cars of its class. This polymer panel is used for the L200’s doors, fenders and bumpers while the rest of the body parts are made of steel. Like the other L-series Saturn cars, the L200 accommodates five passengers inside.
The Saturn L200 is distinguished from other cars of its class by its fine handling. The suspension is tuned perfectly right, giving the car an impressively stable ride at high speeds. Although considered as midsize cars, the Saturn L200s drive through corners with much confidence and with modest body lean. Under the hood, power is generated by a 4-cylinder engine that is mated with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. According to Saturn, the volume-leading Saturn L200 with automatic shift takes 9.8 seconds to reach 60 mph. Compared to the V6 mounted on the wagons, Saturn L200’s 4-cylinder engine sounds richer under hard throttle. Noise from the road, wind and the engine itself is well hushed.
