Looks pretty cool! I like the way that Saturn is considered the "Lets try this" part of GM in the U.S. Lord knows innovation has been lacking for a while.

It's also close to a Vibe. No thanks, I guess Saturn doesn't need my future business.

Haven't been close to a Vibe lately, have you. For that matter, haven't been close to a 2008 Vue either, have you?

I came close to buying an '07 Vibe.... until the test drive. Its little more than a station wagon on steroids. The Opel/Vue is quite a different vehicle (looks included).

Todays Saturn. It reminds me too much of GM's other global platform sharing attempt from the mid 80's.

Does anyone remeber the Geo brand? A supposedly 'independent' branch of GM that offered a wide variety of cars not otherwise found in GM showrooms.

They were in fact, rebadged Isuzus, Suzukis, Toyotas, and other Asian designed and manufactured cars and trucks. They had nothing to do with domestic products other than they were sold in a domestic dealership under an innocuous name.

I'm afraid Saturn has become the modern equivelant of Geo. Damn shame too. Saturn USED to be such a great brand to consider.

When even I get tired of hearing the grousing, you know it's getting old. C'mon. You don't even own your Saturn anymore. Surely your new vehicle has an online venue where you can complain about their products instead?

I love the dual exhaust! Wish my RL had those pipes hanging out... the rest of it through looks like they took a good design and ran it into a wall, it's got a bubble top, Ahg,

Dual exhaust = +
The rest = -

It's getting to be rather pathetic, IMO.

Maybe he thinks we didn't hear him the first 1,000,000 times. Dunno...

The geo vehicles used Japanesse engines. The Opelized Saturns will use North American engines, transmissions, etc. No comparison.
