This the first time in history I've been really interested in multiple GM models.

I also LOVE the Enclave/Outlook/Acadia. The Enclave is simply beautiful.

Outlook vs Acadia -> Outlook. Save a couple grand and get the same rig.
Sometimes better treatment at a Saturn dealer.
Small tip, go at the end of the month. Ask the salesman how many more rigs they need to get out to hit their goal. If you are working on the last one for the goal, they will (probably) be more willing to work with you.

Enclave is going to be the nicests IMO, but It's a buick... so its supposed to be. and you pay for it too.

FYI: Looks like Saturn is on its way out. GM said to have made serious cuts.

I think that's gonna hurt. Saturn has more of a cult following than Buell!!!

I have an Aura. Got it in February. Comfy and decent pickup and looks really nice as well. (That's as much car input as you'll get from me!) This is my 4th Saturn. (I lease) The SL2's I had were great cars and had no problems with them. The ION sucked ass and I couldn't wait to get rid of the rolling piece of shit that it was. I really like the Aura. Except I had to get an automatic transmission and prefer manual, but the Aura isn't made in a manual. :shrug:

ETA: Just read the whole article. Its about a 2007 Aura. Haven't had problems with my 08 Aura.

I drove one and kept trying to figure out what a-hole engineer thought it would be a good idea to put the gauges even FURTHER away from the line of sight of the driver.

If I recall correctly the reason for the center mount gauges was because it would more easily allow for the same platform to be used to manufacture cars for countries that drive on the left side of the road. They'd just have to kind of swivel the center piece. It did take me awhile to get used to!

Over-all, the car was just CHEAP. Not inexpensive, cheap.

i almost opted for a G8 on my last car when i turned in my speed6 but they build the motherfucker in Australia so my car allowance program won't allow it - which is pretty fucking gay if you ask me.. i work for a company out of germany and they make me lease or buy a car with a FAP in north america..
