The may be an odd question, but what makes the Saturn Van a Saturn other than the name? What is a Saturn? Is it just a brand name? I bought a 98SL2 new and have driven it. I thought Saturn was for the material of the outer shell that did not rust and resisted dents. I have a pamphet about the Saturn Van but what makes them different?
Do you mean Saturn VUE?
What differences are important to you?
The buying experience and the substance of contruction impressed me. I asked what the expected roll-out price was and the salesman gave the right one number. My 98SL1 felt like a truck. There was substance to that small car, whereas a Neon was a windup rollerskate with too much air time driving over road seams. The backs of the Neon controls where hollow. The Cavalier is less car, and Metro even less. The Metro speedometer toped at 80 and engine was high strung.
I'd say Saturn is humanistic and practical, while other companies advertise machines for machines.
I think he probably means the new Saturn Relay, which is essentially a mini-van.
How many Saturn products share their platform with other GM products. Is there a big difference between the brands, or is it like comparing Ford Taurus to Mercury Sable?
The Relay is the first.
In the case of the Relay, no.
You forget Opel... Everyone forgets Opel...
Actually, no.....The first is the Vue and it Chevy brother the Equinox Then the Relay and it's Chevy, Pontiac and Buick counterparts And last the Ion and the Chevy Cobalt
Each of those share the same platforms.

the Relay looks so plain and bland compared to others on the market, with SUVs out of fashion, and NO polymer ? I don't know how they expect to sell these things ! It's dated when introduced. Yuk. E '04 Ion 1
