Saturn was created in the 1980s to sell small cars and only last year branched out, adding the midsize LS sedan. There also was a need to give owners of small Saturns a larger car to buy. The CV1 concept vehicle resembles a five-seat station wagon. Jump seats fold to expand seating to seven. All seats but the driver's can be folded for more cargo room.
Rear doors slide forward to open the rear cargo area or backward for passenger access.
With the Oldsmobile Profile, power rear doors similar to a minivan's slide back for a wider entry. The rear seat slides, too, for more legroom. It also folds into the floor. A power rear liftgate opens the hatch. Controls are activated by voice, and the Olds concept has Internet capability beamed by satellite.
