There are two Auras, the base XE and our choice, the XR, with its 252-hp 3.6-liter V6 and six-speed automatic. However, there are a few hints that Saturn may still be a half step away from the majors.

Colts Neck man arrested after threatening to shoot police
Court home after receiving a call about a domestic disturbance there, authorities said. When police arrived at the home just after 5 p.m. Thursday, Leon Murray opened a second-floor window and told police he had a gun, said Detective Sgt. Joseph Whitehead.
Murray threatened to kill the officers so he could be on the news, police said.
The Monmouth County Emergency Response Team was called, but before they arrived, the 50-year-old tried to jump head-first out of the window, police said.
But police used a ladder to secure him, and then they took him into custody, Whitehead said.
Murray was charged with terroristic threats and criminal mischief.
The domestic dispute began when Murray tried to take another family member's car without permission, police said.
