2006 Saturn Relay
Background information for the 2006 Saturn Relay minivan, including: performance, safety, pricing, and features.
The Saturn Relay, produced by the Saturn Marque, which is a subsidiary of General Motors, is the American automaker's attempt to compete in the somewhat competitive minivan market. First released in 2005, the 2006 model is a carryover, providing few changes from the original 2005 edition. The Saturn Relay is a sibling to the Chevrolet Uplander and Pontiac Montana and reminiscent of the Buick Terraza. It marks the first Saturn ever designed without polymer side paneling.
