I'm not a big fan of American cars, but I have to give them credit for the big improvements coming out lately. By the looks of the interior alone, if I didn't see that Saturn badge on your steering wheel, I would have never guessed it for being American.



Not that I would buy one, but if I was in the market for one I'd actually consider it and take a look, whereas a couple of years ago I'd just skip right past that dealer and go look at the imports.
 
The car looks nice!!



BlackElantraGT, there is not much American about this car its very smiliar to EU Opel Vectra, looks and parts wise.

That explains a lot then :) Well, I'll give them credit for bringing something to the U.S. that the public might actually want to buy.
 
I love the styling of the new Saturns. The whole lineup looks great!



Nice job on the detail as well, I'm sure your parents appreciated it!
 
Thanks everybody.

I really like this car too, so does everybody that gets in it. Very comfortable for long drives with lots of leg room in the back. While cruising around you can barely hear the engine. Car handles and brakes well.



In Forbes best car interior of the year award, the Aura was voted for best "Popular-Priced Car." It also won this years "North American Car of the Year."



The camera was a Canon 1DIIN with a Canon 16-35mm 2.8L lens.
 
Looks very nice. I like these. An XR would be an excellent sleeper. Road & Track got an XR to 60 in 5.9 secs -- which ties Charger R/T & Speed6 in comparison to other R&Ts numbers.
 
Top notch work Zeus, love the color too. I had a chance to drive an Aura XR at a Saturn roadshow a little while ago and loved the car. I may look into one for my next vehicle, I'm very impressed by their new lineup.



Nice compsult by the way BlackElantraGT, you sure know how to lighten up a thread.

Cool! Very nice. I like the interior shot a lot :) How did you apply the Endurance Gel?

I put a ziplock bag over my hand, pour some on the bag and rub it around the tire. Crazy, but it works well :)
 
Great color combination on that Aura, too!



Saturn's offerings have completely changed from where they came 15 years ago.



I have recommended checkign out that vehicle to everyone who asks me about cars in that category/size.

That's really interesting... Is there any excess that needs to be wiped off? I might have to try this.
