Default Is the Astra all steel panels?

Just looked at an Astra. Looked like everything was steel instead of SMC?
Just wondering if Saturn got away from SMC dent resistant panels?

I have an SC2 and was considering an Astra, I sure wish the Astra had the 3rd door also, it's a really cool feature. I'm guessing they got rid of it because of a safety issue, or they could just make more $ if they got rid of the 3rd door.

Welcome to the Board.

Saturns are all steel panels now. Last one with polymer side panels were the 07 VUE and ION's.

That was a huge plus to saturns, I can't imagine why they got rid of it. Probably $ or safety. Makes my decision of what to buy even easier though.
