BTW, I don't have anything against Saturns. I flipped one over end over end at over 100MPH and am still alive now so...

Thanks Saturn!

Oh, and the Saturn COULD NOT be made to rattle with any sane amount of bass in the trunk, that sure was NICE!

I'd rather have the Saturn... I don't like paying for a name.

YOu also don't like paying for a quality vehicle :p

GM and Ford lower bracket cars cant compete with the handa/toyotas

I have 2 Saturns.... they've only been in the shop for oil changes and tire rotation and never left us stranded. Unless you're a dash stroker concerned about 1mm panel gap differences, I don't see the point of paying extra for a Honda.

nevermind the fact that the interior is built like SH!T (the Civic's might be futuristic, but at least it's high quality). The Civic will have better resale, better reliability, handles better, and of course Honda has higher quality tolerances in their vehicles compared to GM - It's better in EVERY way.

anyway, a corolla looks like a jetta .. lots of cars looks similar now..

I thought it was the other way around, a current generation jetta looks a lot like a current generation corolla, which is older.

Edit: Quote from here

2005 sales of the New Jetta were dissappointing in the US. While critics embraced the overall vehicle, they claimed the styling was too Japanese (with similarities to the Toyota Corolla), and that it is too high-priced for the highly competetive compact car market.
