Do you plan on visiting your local retailer to get a closer look at the new Relay?

No, I am not in the market for a minivan, and the whole minivan market does not interest me.

no. I saw the Relay up close at the Detroit Science Center this weekend so I don't need to visit my retailer.

Unfortunately I will need a minivan in the near future.
The omission of the polymer panels and the consitently poor service I have been receiving from the two local retailers has removed saturn from the list of choices.

Though I'm not in the market for a minivan, the Relay is the only Saturn available in dark blue. I hope the Kappa roadster or the L-series replacement will be offered in this color.

Not Yet!
Even if I were in the market of mini-van, base on previous reliability trend, I'll be totally hands-off of any Saturn's First Year Product.
Give it a model year or two first.

No, because I'm not interested in it, whatsoever! I might take a closer look at the interior for *****s and giggles when I'm at the Cleveland Auto Show this winter, but I go to that every winter! But go out of my way to my dealer and look at it, No!
I have little interest in the minivan from what I have heard so far. Even if I was considering a Minivan I'm not sure I would look at it. If its nothing more than a rebadged "x" with slightly different features then I doubt I would consider it. None of GM's minivans to date have impressed me very much.

I will look and think seriously about buying it. But not this year. And only if my current van dies a horriffic traffic death. But let pray that, that does not happen.

Nope.
This guy ain't no minivan guy, so I can't get to excited.
Nothing new or innovative over the competition to see, either.

No.
I am just not a minivan kinda guy. However, if Saturn would come out with an SUT, I would run into the dealership for a test drive...:)

Already saw it up close and personal at the Columbus Zoo. Not impressed at all, either. I'm not a minivan person .. considering that I'm only 19 and have no children in my forseeable future, why would I consider a minivan? Even if I were in the market for a larger vehicle, I don't think the Relay would be it.

I'm not in the market for a mini van however I want to see the Relay. As the first non-polymer Saturn built on an assembly line shared with other GM products it may give us a glimpse of what we can expect from future Saturn vehicles.

If you want to see future Saturn vehicles, stop by your local Chevy dealership. ;)
My Saturn store is 60 miles away, so I'm not going to make a special trip to see the Relay. However, I'll probably take a look while I'm there for an oil change or other maintenance on my ION.

I'll go look at the relay although I'm not interested in it myself. I like to keep up to date with the different saturn models and direction the company is going in.

Since my Saturn dealer is just up the road, I figured I'd take a look at it. I saw it at an Auto show, but was unable to get close to it.

I'm not driving little old ladies to their Doctors anymore. So no, I'll not visit the Relay. In`06MY, my Geo LSI (AT) will be 10 yrs old. Time to retire it and myself.

I'll be in the market for a minivan, probably next year when child #2 arrives.
Don't know if they're available north of the border yet. GM Canada's website has it listed but nearby retailers don't show any in their inventories.
Kind of disappointed there's not a square inch of polymer skin to be found. :(
I did a "cost and build" exercise and the Relay's actually cheaper than my VUE was.
I'd probably trade the VUE in if I really liked it.

we have a montana, like i've said before, so i will likely check it out next time i'm there.
then i can walk literally 30 feet to see the montana sv6 and terraza, or the other way 30 feet and see the uplander! lol

I just want to see it side by side to the Pacifica so I can feel better about the deal I got on the Pacifica, if it were possible. GM always has lousy lease programs unlike Honda and some others - which explains, in part, their lackluster sales in some fields.

A Chevy Buick dealer is down the road so I can see 2 clones. No need to go to Saturn. I think the relay competing with 3 other GM clone models and having to cpmpete with Chrysler, Toyota and Honda will not sell many units. Plus you can use your GM card on the other clones and not pay sticker. The L replacement better look a lot different than a Malibu. I think for 2006 they will rush a Chevy clone out to have a mid-size car and in the future go to the Opel styling.
Poly was one of the main things that made Saturn a "different" company and different car. They are no longer "Different".

Pacifica wins by looks alone.
Pacifica is a perfect example of how a mini-van should be disguised.
Relay is a perfect example of old-school GM thinking.
I will not be visiting Saturn to look at the Relay. In fact, when I visit for servicing my Redline, I'll probably have to take a Valium ahead of time in order to stay calm when I see a Relay. Otherwise, any technician or salesperson within earshot is going to hear about it from me - and none of it good.

No, I hate minivans!!!
No, I didn't plan on it, it just happened.
My opinion is that it is nothing special.

My wife and I plan on looking into the Relay. Well if you ask my wife we plan on BUYING the Relay

I'll definitely visit my dealer and look at the Relay but I am certainly not interested in buying a new vehicle. :)

If it's @ Saturn when I go in for service I'll take a look. But not a special trip just to see it. Besides, I'm not in the market for one.

Yep, saw one today. It was quite impressive. With an impressive sticker too.

I told my mom to go and check one out the other day... I haven't back if she liked it or not :hmpf:

MPV is a far better mini-van IMO. I've had my '03 MPV for almost a year, its small size, large interior space, innovative seating, great engine and good fit and finish are all pluses missing in the Relay.
What I never understood is why the original poly clad Transport was not a Saturn. GM already had a perfect Saturn-ish van on hand.

I was at the dealer checking on somerthing and there was one sitting outside. The exterior leaves alot to be desired but I admit I was very impressed with the inerior. This mwas probably an uper level model cause it was hoked up prety nice. I would like to be just a passenger.

Nope...we are in the market, but after 2 VUE's with incredible and ongoing problems and the blow-em off attitude of our dealer...no way, no how, never again.

who wants a van anymore? I'll be visiting the Porsche dealer this summer though. seven figures wont be too shabby.

Hell no. I don't intend to visit a Saturn dealer until a RWD roadster comes out, or until I need a part that I can't get somewhere else.

I went today to get some touch up paint for my Saturn and looked at it while I was there. No offense, but I wasn't very impressed :sleep:.

Went to test drive Redline Ion....the boyfriend loved it! I, personally, wasn't drawn to the style or the Mini-van-like features.
Over-all rating from me is 6/10 for design and looks...it's being generous. Only because it's a Saturn :hmpf: ...any other would have been thumbs down all the way!
