Re: Wow, Beam Me Up!

Yes, the EPA plays a significant role in the increase of car battery prices, but it's not like the cost of raw materials remained constant over a decade. Metal/alloy prices spiked during that time...

Re: Reverse Lamp covers

Oh, that's right - the backup lights for the 2000-02 SCs are mounted in the rear bumpers! To add, production of coupes for these model years are low to begin with. I'm assuming that the existing...

Re: Tip: Extend the life of Your Wiper Blades

How about using Windex or a window/glass cleaner in place of rubbing alcohol, which can dry out the rubber portion of the wiper blade?

Re: R.I.P. 99 Saturn SL2

This could have gone in the S-Series General Forum but is fine where it is.

The insurance company is totalling out your car because from their perspective, the damage exceeds its value. I was in...

Re: Ok so Saturn is gone.... Now what?

Honda Civic
Mazda 3
Ford Focus

The best B-segment cars on the market, IMO.

Kia's on a roll, and with the compact Forte restyle and new Cadenza full-sizer, the brand should no longer be...

The article provided by cityhawk covers the downfall of Saturn quite well.

Re: still making the saturn vue

onefunkar - Aussie origin or not, I'd love to get my hands on a Caprice PPV, but I fear the only place they'll be sold is at police auctions and will have high mileage. Though nobody will mistake...

Re: 2012 Captiva = Saturn Vue???

Charlie is right; Captivas look exactly like VUEs with a gold bowtie because they are - built at Ramos Arizpe just as the 2008-09 VUEs were, hence the "3" as the first number in the VIN.

Re: Question of the Day: If You Had to Make a Choice Today, What Would Your Next Vehi

The look of the new Fusion appeals greatly to me, although I can't say it holds a significant advantage over the Altima in any area save for its surprisingly Teutonic ride quality.

Re: Thank You for Participating in SaturnFans.com's 2012 Saturn Reunion, Should We Do

By all means, please do it again. I had plenty of advance notice of the event and appreciate the courtesy, but the real world threw me some unexpected and unplanned surprises.

Re: Question of the Day: If You Had to Make a Choice Today, What Would Your Next Vehi

My brother has made it perfectly clear to me he plans on driving his ION until the wheels fall off. He had his SL1 for what seemed like an eternity before going to the ION.

Re: Do you think they will ever build Saturns again?

Sounds a lot like my hometown Chevrolet dealer, which has many used Saturns in its inventory.

Re: Do you think they will ever build Saturns again?

And yet, Chevy seriously botched their restyled Malibu launch just to get a jump on Ford, Honda and Nissan. Apparently, there's cash on the hoods of the '13 Eco, which is not the way you want to...

Re: 08 XR Mileage Update

130K and no serious issues? I tip my hat to you. Staying on top of maintenance will ensure you reach the 200K mark with relative ease.

The only thing I've noticed is that Aura resale takes a...

Re: Do you think they will ever build Saturns again?

Highly doubtful. The automotive landscape has become much more intense and only promises to be more so when China and India get here. I don't think that Fiatsler can support all its brands and...

Re: So if Saturn was founded January 7, 1985.....

Fair enough, but two points to make.

1. I don't know if Scion is a major profit center for Toyota. I think the Lexus line does that all by itself. What Scion does is get people in the door to...

Re: Saturn Craigslist Deal of the Day!

Amazingly low mileage for a 1998. (http://longisland.craigslist.org/cto/3091474652.html) Very close to where I live and work. From what I can see, clean inside and good shape in/out, may be worth...

It is a '99 HCE. Too bad. Needs a new engine. The current one threw a rod.

A 2nd gen SL2, similar to the one I used to have before it went to the boneyard (it even has 'multi-fin' alloy wheels).

Re: Compare SL1 or Sl2 to the Ion

The S-Series is lower to the ground, but the bigger concerns are oil consumption and snapping the diff pin on the transmission (regardless of whether it's an automatic or manual). Another issue is...
