Overview:

This week we’re looking at the 2007 Saturn Aura that is clearly a contender for top honors. In fact I’ll be bullish and say this is perhaps the top of the field in this class. It is built on a German Opel...

[gallery link="file" ids="1617,1618,1619,1620,1621"] Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2007 Saturn Outlook AWD XR SUV. Wow – Saturn and luxury SUV in the same sentence seems unlikely but this is it. It will strike you I believe, as it did me, to be up there with more expensive competition. I appreciate that...

This week we’re looking at the 2007 Saturn Vue FWD Hybrid which of course is a cross breed with an Inline 4-cylinder internal combustion engine with a battery backup – of sorts.

Overview: 

This week I drove the 2003 Saturn L200 Sedan. Cool car? Not necessarily. Cool is a Lamborghini Mercielago on an overcast day cruising up the coast anywhere in the world. Italy would be cool. The all-new Lamborghini features a 580HP 6.2L V12 Motor...

Overview:

This week we’re looking at the 2001 Saturn LW 200 Wagon. Just when you thought inflation was steeling you blind, up jumps competition. Ain’t it great? Consider that in 1967 I bought a new Chevy Malibu for a whopping $2,500. Relatively speaking, you get...

Overview:  

This week we’re looking at the Saturn SL2 4-door sedan. My friend’s son Brent bought a 1999 new last year and as a young man, he has those old feelings. Speed and performance are most important. 124 horsepower just doesn’t get it for him....
