Another substantial sports utility (Just how much choice does American’s market need when it comes to big SUVs?) Relay is really a seven seater that Saturn’s marketing people describe as a crossover using the multipurpose vehicle market.

The end result is a four-square, truck-scale machine with either front-wheel or four wheel drive along with a 3.5 litre V6 to haul it along.

Don’t over expect in the way of driver involvement – this machine is more about road presence than fun for the person driving. To distinguish this from countless others on the market Saturn claims a smarter-than-most interior. But is the fact that enough of a differentiator within an over-subscribed market?
