Saturn Aura

I guess they're available now, saw one out and about yesterday. http://www.saturn.com/saturn/v...y.jspI thought it was OK except for the tails, I think they cheapen the look of the rear end quite a bit. From what I see, they've reduced the size of the fender flares, thank god - those (I've always thought) should be on trucks and nothing else. (my photo of Aura concept at 2005 NY auto show.) The interior looks really good, except I just wish that they had brighter colors. If you don't want to feel like you're sitting in a cave, your only option to brighten things up is to get the optional turd brown leather, uh, no thanks. I recently read an old issue of AutoWeek (from Aug. I think) about this car... Sounded like it was a really good car... And it seems GM tried to get everything right the first time with this one. Something you've gotta do when you're up against the Camcords. Looks worlds away from the G6 and Malibu (this one shares the platform of the longer wheelbase Malibu Maxx.) GM's done well for keeping the three (similar) cars entirely different,. Not too shabby for some Saturn.

Yeah, after the leaks, rattles, broken shades/etc. with the standard ol' moonroof I had in the Vibe, I don't even want to think what would happen with my crappy luck combined with this super complex panoramic roof. I will only own cars that have a solid piece of metal over my noggin from here on out. lol!

Actually, the G6 uses the Maxx platform as well.Speaking of AutoWeek, I saw this in one of my more current issues:

Actually, that's one of the vehicles we are considering as a replacement for my Wife's car. Been getting very good reviews from the automotive press. Of course, almost anything will be better than her current 1995 Sunfire.

this is one of the strong selling points of the Saturn Aura, and its reasonable price. from its front fascia to the Saturn fenders, the body panels and the rear bumper, the Aura sports European styling which earned it the praise of being "the best Saturn yet."

It won North American car of the year. I test drove one and I was VERY impressed. I would consider buying one in a heartbeat.Kenny
