Looks to be ok so far.  Seems that they kept the overall design.

The SKY is low volume, and they would need the aura to be as good as the 300C was for Chrysler.

If there is nothing else in the showroom besides the L Class, then people wont buy it.  Hopefully, the Aura will be good enough that it wont need the Sky to draw buyers in.

but the prospective buyers would learn about these cars, and there's a chance they'd buy them.

People are not going to buy a crappy car (L series) simply because they see the Sky.  It helps a company to have a Sky-like vehicle when there are other vehicles in the showrrom that people might want.  Unfortunately, as of now, this is not the case with Saturn.

with the Aura and some other products on the horizon (hopefully), saturn's SKY will draw in people to the showrooms, and they may drive off in a new Saturn.

This and the Aura.  And probably some more models after that.  Perhaps a aura station wagon or coupe, although I'm not sure.

maybe even a sweet new hardtop convertible, like the G6, as they're on the same platform.

It's bringing an extensive interior upgrade, and hopefully redesigned seats as well. Together, those fixes should be able to correct the vehicle's biggest flaws and make it actually competitive.

The Ion's still selling well, so I suppose they can be happy with its success.
