Yes, they were new designs, my point was, they didn't extend the platform in any way, they simply replicated cars that existed (the "econobox", the "family sedan", etc). But, they were actively driven as a new, friendly, all American company, because GM was askeered that it might fail having too many cars to choose from, and they didn't want Saturn taking them down. If they would have just introduced the cars as Chevys, or maybe created the "Saturn line" of GM cars, they would have been fine, and probably would have save a boatload of cash.
