Automotive: Exterior Body Panel Design Advancing

摘要

General Motors has introduced performance versions of the Saturn Ion and Vue vehicles. The Red line uses the design capabilities of Saturn's thermoplastic body panels to produce cars with new fascias, a spoiler, and rocker panels. Saturn made its debut in 1990s to compete with Japanese automakers in North America. The Saturn assembly plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee, includes in-house injection molding shops for the interior and exterior components that gives the Saturn its unique style. Saturn sales were 280,000 in '02 and GM achieved 500,000 during the most recent '06 full year period.
