J-body?

Anony00GT · 07-07-2003, 04:36 AM

This question has been stuck in my mind ever since I picked up my SC in February. Is the S-series a J-body?

Whenever I get in a Cavilier/Sunfire I have this wierd feeling like it's exactly the same as being in the SC. There's also several similar elements between them....

So...is the S-series another J-body car, or is it a design of its own?

I don't think it is a j-body. I've never heard anything about it being one, and the dude down the street is in ****in love with j-bodies cus his gf has one. It may be, but hes never said anything about it, so I say no.

as far as i know that saturn has solely been there own lil company until recently when GM took over. i expect saturn to start lookin like a few cavs or the cavs to start lookin like the ions....but im not sure about saturn bein a J body. i do know that saturn uses a complete space frame design for their cars to its VERY strong

Here's a list of all of the different GM bodies nomenclature and Saturn isn't listed anywhere on it.

j-bodies are cavaliers and sunfires (sunbirds pre 95) but saturn s-series are actually z-bodies.

the first gen saturns looked like mini-me's of one of the oldmobile models but i can't remember which one. i always wanted to get into one of those olds to see how similar they were on the inside.

Saturns are basically based off of the fiero frames....

and to agree with everyone, saturns are not J-bodies. J-bodies are off of different platforms anyways.
