2008 Saturn ASTRA
Exterior Design & Styling
The new Saturn ASTRA has bold styling with clean, sculpted lines. Performance-
oriented cues like the long wheelbase, raked windshield and roofline, wide track
and short overhangs give it a taut, athletic stance with the wheels pushed to the
corners. Fit-and-finish is outstanding with close tolerances and a remarkable
attention to detail. Gaps are very even, less than 3mm (0.12") in most areas and
a miniscule 1.5mm where the headlamps meet the fascia and fender.
