FWIW from my viewpoint I don't think Saturns are all that bad. They're pretty much made in America which is a plus for me. A second plus is my dollar doesn't go to the unionized labor that helps to put socialists in office.

The people I know htat have had Saturns liked them and had less trouble than with other makes.

The downside for me is they are like toasters. They work fairly well but have no personsality. And even though I'm only 5'10" my head hit the roof on the Saturn sedans I looked at.

Saturns have also always seemed to be resonably priced when I shopped for a new car.

I guess the big turn off for me is the lack of personality. I prefer to drive a car that is distinctive, even if a bit quirky. I have a soft spot in my head (year head) for French cars and hae owned several including a veritable fleet of Renaults. NOtive I said "owned" instead of "driven". That is for the good reason that few, if any Fine Frecnh Automobiles actually move under their own power! Now when it comes to Lawn and Driveway Ornaments, or shlters for some of Mom Natures less dsirable creatures, French Automobiles fit the bill splendidly!

As far as a Saturn SUV goes I wasn't aware they were making one. However If I were looking for and SUV I would probably check them out. BTW the SUV I have been looking at is the Hyundai Santa Fe. A couple of friends own them and love them. No problems whatsoever. I can't bring my self to buy one though because they're built in Korea. That shouldn't really matter much because even cars built overseas and sold here create lots of jobs. But after a slew of French cars I just can't bring myself to buy anything other than say a 1973 Dodge or Chevy.
