The Storm served as a test-mule for the Impact electronics and powertrain.
A couple years later,Ultralite,different looking,but identical Cd debuted with 100-mpg.
The longer Saturn had one of the lowest Road Load Horsepower ratings of any car tested by Car and Driver.
Last year I kept driving by a used car lot with a 1st gen SC#. There's also a gold one near me. Every time I look at 'em, my brain ecomods them.

I just found this picture in your "Other vehicles 1" gallery :



The nose of this car always reminded me of the Storm and the SC.
