I have a friend that just bought a Saturn from a dealer here in Denver and he said that on the wall in the dealership there was a poster that said: "Our new Saturns will handle better than a Porsche" <img border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" title="" src="graemlins/cussing.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" title="" src="graemlins/cussing.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" title="" src="graemlins/cussing.gif" /> I am going to get a picture of it and post it here. Can you believe that crap they are spewing??? I wonder if Porsche cars North America knows about this??
The only way one of those gay econoboxes could handle better is if the Porsche had the wheels and tires off! <img border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" title="" src="graemlins/cussing.gif" />

I have several friends with saturns - swear by them and most buy another one, but they BEG to drive mine..

Yeah this is my friends second saturn. I tried to get him to buy my 944 but the wife wouldnt let him. Said they need a "reliable" car. My 944 has never failed me. He also drove it and said a saturn doesnt even compair <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" />

Yeah let's see them put up something to prove that garbage. I wanna see lap times at tracks! I bet their best car doesn't come within 5-10 seconds of a Boxster. I've driven/ridden in several newer Saturns and that's gotta be the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard that it would outhandle ANY Porsche. Of course it's just marketing BS but still...

screw lap times. screw reliability.
how may times have u heard Oh, so THATS a saturn?
Porsche- one and only.

I would think that claiming that would not only be wrong, but illegal

My highschool girlfriend had a saturn that started to rust, she was so mad that her plasic car could rust, I just thought it was funny and continued the make fun of it....

Saturns are misery, and that new ion might be the the ugliest design on the year....

Do you guys remember that saturn TV commercial several years ago that showed a porsche club race with all the 911s followed by a saturn dragging along several car-lengths back? Why would they even put that on TV?

"Almost a Porsche?" Who knows..Saturns suck especially riced ones. Reliability..blah any car will be reliable if somebody takes care of the thing. There are 944s out there with 300,000+ miles on them. Neglect that timing belt change and...$$$.

Reliability these days means how long you can neglect it before it breaks.

I bet most of the people that walk into the dealer believe that BS too!! I would guess that if Porsche North America gets wind of this stink that the poster doesnt last long. Maybe I will go see if I can buy it just so I can BURN it! <img border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" title="" src="graemlins/cussing.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[nono]" title="" src="graemlins/nono.gif" />

This poster has RICE written all over it

I love my car- thats why i put up with the PM. At least i know it will start. even in this weather,
Buy a saturn( or any GM, FORD or Chrysler product) and see how much its worth in 15 years. I replaced head gaskets (twice), rotors (twice) and 2 "brain boxes" on my 96 voyager and still had a myriad of problems. (Forget the AC Compressor for 1800$ that lasted 6 months.)
Thank you = i'll keep my out of production car.
I saw a 1993 caravan TODAY for 2000 cash with a 12 month warranty today for 1500$ it was 13000$ new. no thanks.
