Molded polymer body side panels work very well. Any force that would crack a Saturn panel would have destroyed a steel panel. While they will still scratch, the give in the panel really minimizes this so they are virtually immune to door dings. The downside is the huge panel gaps.
One of the sweet things about a 9-3SS is the monoside body consturction which produces very tiny gaps.
Many, many, vehciles have molded panels over space frame construction, C5 Corvettes for example.
