Which is ok. I don't think Saturn really ever provided a good American car as compared to GM's other divisions.

I mean the Sky and Vue looked cool, but that was it.

Buick has old classy covered, Caddy has young classy covered, Chevy has tough covered, and GMC has professional grade covered.

The only thing I miss is Pontiac. You see a ton of g6's on the road every single day. Those are great cars, good on gas, and look good (even though they are rebadged balts)

Long live GM.

Saturn was a great idea once again bungled by a clueless American company being managed by fools looking for end of quarter returns at the expense of future earnings. GM...Kodak...etc..

An economical car with some new ideas? Well, lets make sure to put no real R&D or effort into it...we've got some 8 liter engine to work on and god knows OnStar has been useful. What would we do without Flex Fuel?

The inability of American companies to make high output economical small displacement engines has doomed most of it (Ford is really a truck company, so that gives it a leg up). The UAW should burn in hell.

close. G5s were rebanded cobalts. the G6 was just a rebanded pontiac grand prix, really. the G8 is just a rebanded super grand prix.

I owned a g5 once, girly car it was, but awesome on gas.

Now from what i've been told the g6 coupe is like a rebranded balt sedan, with Malibu frame, but I could be wrong. Looks like it to me.

Now that we're on that note, to my knowledge the g5 sedan was never released in this country. I'm not too sure of that, of course, but i've seen many up in canada.

This is my current baby. Just put some new snow 15" tires on it, not shown in picture. Pretty small, but that size came standard with 1996 models. It is also an AWD, which was VERY rare back then. They stopped doing that after a year or two. When the truck hits 150,000 , it's getting 30" wheels/tires.

Only at 115,000 right now.

Love GM.

The older grand prix's were ace. I did not like the 90's-2000's models.

G6, now that is a nice car. Doing the older models justice.
