Also known as the GM sports coupe, Saturn SC2 is one of the first models produced in this line in the early and mid 90s. The launching of the S Series by General Motors represented a marketing stratagem to diminish the influence of the Japanese imports on the American market. After Saturn SC2 became a market hit, Japan and Taiwan actually began imports of these vehicles on their markets, which only proves that the reputation GM got for the Saturn S Series was of international magnitude. Though no spectacular adjustments were made to the Saturn SC2 in time, the year 1999 saw the biggest of upgrades.

Saturn Sc2

Saturn SC2 got a little lateral door often called the suicide door on the side of the driver. In the case of the SC design, this additional feature was a big change as it was a welcome change in the production of sports cars. Only cab pickup trucks had such a lateral door, and no other regular vehicle use one. Saturn SC2 was produced with little modifications afterwards until 2003 when General Motors replaced the S Series and launched their new sports car, Saturn Ion. The production of this latter model also came to a halt in 2007 as well when GM tried a different market approach.

In its category, Saturn SC2 represented the most fuel-efficient vehicle with a manual transmission. At the time when it was launched, the engine of Saturn SC2 required one gallon of fuel for forty miles according to the highway tests performed for the car. This initial engine was rated at only 124 horsepower, but in 1995 improvements became necessary to the initial SC model: thus, the producer incorporated a lid reflector in the trunk and further added a lower front bumper; yet the cabin decorations were not neglected either. It was the second generation of Saturn SC2 that saw changes in exterior concept that now focused on rather curve lines.

Saturn Sc2

According to reviews Saturn SC2 brought little difference from SC1, the latter only received black outside mirrors while the SC2 variant had them colored. Other features of the Saturn SC2 included a traction control system, an antibreak lock and standard fog lamps. Then, in terms of manual transmission, there were no changes between Saturn SC2 and SC1, and the same similarity remained in the dashboard look, daytime running lights and even wheelbase. The improvements of Saturn SC2 were inspired by the sedan and station wagon models produced by General Motors.
