Default S-Series Questions


OK, I'm working on further refining my knowledge on the S-Series and may be putting the info into a "Carspotting Guide" which I would post for all to see & use. I'm hoping that some of you can help me answer some questions through your higher knowledge of the S-Series, or by having a car from another year that you can reference to answer some qeustions. I might also need some pictures, but we'll worry about that later....

I know I could find some of this info by searching, but with the abundance of quick Q's I expect to have, a rapid-fire question format will require less time and help me develop this sooner. I hope to make the guide into a nice powerpoint format with pictures & everything.

So, my initial questions (right now I'm working on SC info, I'll get to SL's and SW's eventually):



1. When the SC interior changed in 1995, was the entire interior changed? I know the dash and center match the 2nd gen SC's (except the 2000's), but the door skins do not. Did the door skins change with the rest of the interior, or are the door skins the same on the '91-'94 as on the '95-'96?

2. Let me know if any of the following seems off: Below is a basic listing of the Generations of the SC2 specifically (much overlaps with the SC1, but this is for the SC/SC2). I've broken it down into sub-generations for some of the mid-generation changes. If there are any changes I've left out, or gotten wrong, please let me know:

95 used the same as 91-94. just the whole inside was changed.

As impulse93 said... Saturnfan's S-Series History has almost all the S-Series info you could ever want.

Because the limited edition "Red Hot" and "White Hot" coupes are quite rare...

I wanted one very, very badly after selling my Sunfire. I had found one in Ohio that I would've been willing to drive there for, too bad it was already sold when I called.

Mmmm...
That'd be one of the few S-Series I'd buy again... 1997/1998 SC2 "Red Hot", black leather interior, power windows/mirror/moonroof/locks, 5 speed manual...

As much as I love Saturns, I still want another Caddy.

OK, I've been looking over the thing at saturnfans, and it has a lot of the info I'm looking for, but not everything, so more questions will come.

Q: Just to clarify, the 2000 SC's had the final interior, correct? 2nd Gen exterior, 3rd Gen interior?
