Special Edition Saturns

A special Homecoming edition of the SL2 was released for 1994. It had special Pearl White paint (a "silver-tint" pearl, shared with Cadillac models of this year), black Saturn emblems, spoiler, 15-inch (380 mm) "teardrop" wheels, anti-lock four-wheel disc brakes, grey leather/cloth interior, rear headrests, foglamps, and power locks and windows. Options included a sunroof, CD player, and the 4-speed automatic with traction control. Approximately 3,500 Homecoming cars were produced.

In 1998 and 1999, prospective buyers of a red or white SC2 had the option of purchasing the "Black Top Coupe Package" for $225.00 (US). The models were referred to as the "Red Hot Coupe" or "White Hot Coupe", based on the exterior color. The package came with a black roof panel, black outside rear view mirrors, black emblems, white face gauges and black accented teardrop wheels. These are extremely rare.

Production Numbers on these limited editions:

Model year 1998: White - 213 Red - 657

Model year 1999: White - 285 Red - 284

In 1999, a second Homecoming Edition was produced in a special "Mint Color" with tan leather interior, special off-white gauge faceplates, and black Saturn badges to commemorate the second "Homecoming" visit to the Spring Hill, Tennessee manufacturing facility. The 1999 Homecoming Edition also had the same features offered as the 1994 Homecoming Edition. There were 4,000 of the 1999 Homecoming Edition produced.

In 2001, a special yellow SC2 coupé model was also built. The model was dubbed the "Bumblebee Edition", of which 99 were produced with a certificate of authenticity. The "Bumblebee Edition" included embroidered headrests, black leather interior with yellow leather inserts on the seats and door panels, black roof and mirrors, number designation inside fuel filler door and certificate of authenticity. These are not to be confused with the regular issue Yellow Sport Coupe.

2001 also saw a "10th Anniversary Edition" SL sedan model. 1,000 of these vehicles were made, all in SL2 trim, with "SILVER" finish. The car commemorated the 10th anniversary of the Saturn SL's production. Included features were black leather interior with grey accents, black Saturn badges, white gauge faces, and restyled 15" premium alloy "Teardrop II" wheels. Options included ABS, side curtain airbags, fog lights, and embroidered "Saturn 10th Anniversary" floor mats. Another Limited SL for 2001 was the "Bright Red" sedan. Approximately 664 were built.

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or edition:

    A special kind of beauty exists which is born in language, of language, and for language.
    Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)

    Books have their destinies like men. And their fates, as made by generations of readers, are very different from the destinies foreseen for them by their authors. Gulliver’s Travels, with a minimum of expurgation, has become a children’s book; a new illustrated edition is produced every Christmas. That’s what comes of saying profound things about humanity in terms of a fairy story.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
