Saturn SUV using Honda engines? I think not. The Saturn VUE uses a GM engine. Sure, it's GM of Europe, otherwise known as Opel, but it's still GM.

Saturn Gets a Honda Engine

General Motors Corp. and Honda Motor Co. Ltd. rocked the automotive world back in 1999 when they announced an agreement to share some technology and components. One provision of the agreement was for Honda to supply V-6 engines and transmissions to GM.

Since then the rumor mill has been working overtime and had Honda engines in any number of GM Vehicles, including Cadillacs and Buicks.
This week our sister publication, WardsAuto.com, confirmed that the '04 Saturn Vue -- a small SUV -- will be GM’s first Honda powered vehicle. The engines will be built at the same factory in Ohio that builds V-6s for the Honda Accord, but they will be specifically engineered for Saturn.
It’s possible the Honda engine might also be used in the Saturn L-Series sedan, but a GM insider says it’s unlikely any other GM division will use engines that aren’t made by GM or one of its affiliates.
