| The '''Saturn L-series''' was a line of [[automobile]]s sold by [[General Motors]]' [[Saturn automobile|Saturn]] [[marque]].
| |
| | |
| The L-series [[mid-size car|mid-size]] [[sedan]]s and [[station wagon]]s were introduced in 2000. They were based on the [[Opel Vectra]] B and manufactured at a GM plant in [[Wilmington, Delaware|Wilmington]], [[Delaware]]. The L-series was available with [[Straight-4|I4]] and [[V6]] [[internal combustion engine|engines]].
| |
| | |
| Poor sales of the L-series caused GM to cancel the line for [[2005]]. The first L-series car was built in May 1999, and the last one rolled off the Wilmington line on [[June 17]], [[2004]], after a short run of 2005 models. About 406,300 L-series cars were built in this period. The plant was then retooled to build the [[Pontiac Solstice]] and [[Saturn Sky]] [[roadster]]s.
| |
| | |
| The replacement for the L-series, the [[Saturn Aura]], arrived in August 2006 for the 2007 [[model year]]. The Aura is built on the [[GM Epsilon platform|Epsilon platform]], also shared by the [[Pontiac G6]] and the Opel Vectra C.
| |
| | |
| See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[Saturn L-Series Review]]'''.
| |
| | |
| ===Recent Changes===
| |
| The model was discontinued in 2005. It has been replaced with the 2007 [[Saturn Aura]].

| |
| | |
| ==Design quirks and oddities==
| |
| The L-series cars were originally designated the LS (for sedan) and LW (for wagon). However, this caused great confusion and anger from both [[Toyota]] and [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]], who both sold LS-series cars (the [[Lexus LS]] and the [[Lincoln LS]]). The vehicles were then renamed L-series. (Some have also suggested that the name changes were a result of customer complaints over Saturn's "SL" and "LS" series cars, which were both on sale at the same time.)
| |
| | |
| ==Awards==
| |
| List out notable ''awards'' that the model has recieved while in production. '''Boldface''' the company or orgainization that gives out the award, and ''Italicize'' the name of the award.
