Saturn Aura: A Redline version of the Aura is set to arrive for 2008 model-year. It will be powered by a high-output variant of the XR's 3.6L V6. Some speculate that it will use the new Direct-Injected 3.6L, which would bring it close (if not over) to 300 HP. AWD rumors have also been thrown around, but not confirmed.

Any confirmation of the rumor that AWD will be offered in the 2008 Aura?

AWD will not be available for Aura in 2008.

There will be a 4-cyl with 6-speed auto, different from the 3.6L 6-speed.

Anyone got one yet?
Anyone know when the RedLine will be available and is it going to have the 3.6 DI engine?

Cute little pocket rocket. Base 140 H-P seems like a poor choice.
Now the Astra VXR is Opel/Vauxhall's hottest hatchback. How about a 2.0i 16v turbo engine with 240H-P and a six-speed gearbox and 18-inch alloy wheels. :shades:
But will they bring it? I hope so.

My local Saturn dealer called me back today.

Aura in Ontario now has 0% for 60 mo. or 1.9% for 72 mo. Also, 1.1% lease rate for 48 months. Oh so tempting!
