Give me an R32, or R34 GTR over the G35 anyday. I want my 2.6L Twin-Turbo Inline 6. Although...from what I am reading...the g35 is pretty bad ass. Just don't like the fact that it is NA rather than TT.

Edit...Also...the coupe doesnt have an AWD option....from what I can tell.

In the first year, there will be two engine options, the 3.6L and a 3.5L (hooked to the good old 4L transaxle). Next year, you all might just see a Hybrid. Retail productions starts in late July, but we have dozens of saleable captured test vehicles running around town. In fact, have two in the back right now, along with some other nifty cars and trucks, and one has a very interesting engine with this big thing sitting on top that sucks in massive qualtities of air. Can't figure out exactly what the devil is.

Are you insinuating something about the word 'devil'? Perhaps better known as 'Stingray' now?

Pretty much everyone I have known that has owned a Saturn have been very happy with them.

I really don't see what others think comes into it.

I've experienced that opinion towards Saturns from many people. Honestly, until the SKY, I would never have even remotely considered driving a Saturn.

I should add that I think the Outlook will be a nice vehicle too, though Buick and GMC, and maybe Chevy will have something like it (ENOUGH OF THE CLONES!), and the PreVUE looks pretty interesting.

I've always had the precived impression that Saturn made a good car at a reasonable price ... Now who wouldn't rather have the Acura......but if you couldnt afford it should that mean that you should feel "embarassed" to drive it because it says saturn???????????

Thats the same type of attitude I see with a lot of people around here and it's a shame. People worried more about other peoples **** and what other people are driving then worrying about the fact that I'm at home banging their wife because they are to obsessed with their fancy shmancy cars and money........

Sure hasn't slowed down Kia's sales has it?

I do agree that most people, given the choice, would buy a vehicle with the name Acura or something along those lines on it before buying a Saturn but not everyone will have that choice.
