Saturn was created by GM in the 1980s as a response to the 1970s oil crisis and shifting consumer preference toward smaller, efficient cars. Launched in 1990 with its own plant, workforce, and unique Z-body platform featuring dent-proof plastic panels, Saturn aimed to compete with Asian brands. Despite early popularity, GM’s later changes—like abandoning the Z-body platform—and economic challenges led to declining sales. Attempts to sell Saturn failed, and the brand was discontinued in 2010. Unicorp Auto Sales offers exact color-match paint for maintaining Saturn vehicles, including those with special plastic panels.
