You better be joking... I have a front wheel drive American car and it has neither live axles nor leaf springs.
Not Saturn. They just re-badge Opels. Or, the old Saturns (I drive one) were basically designed from the ground up without influences from any other car.
However I've yet to come across a FWD car (pickups don't count) that's been either in Autocar, Evo, or on Top Gear in the last few years that features leaf springs.
To excuse March Hare, most "american" cars we see in Europe are basically Daewoos badges as Chevrolets. Which most people find rather rediculous: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Matiz
it looks like something you'd see from a really bad budget dvd cover, ripping off a future knight rider or something, especailly with the guy in the shades cross armed
