Opel and Saturn have always had a close affinity, with a number of popular models like the Vectra and Astra sold under both labels with barely any changes except for the badge located on the grille. However, with the future of Saturn looking grim, Buick is set to become the gateway for Europe’s hot imports.

Americans will still get many of the vehicles that would normally be sold by Saturn but instead they will be rebadged as Buicks. The first of these will be the replacement for the Aura sedan.
