Commercial Saturn ION Redline compared

To a BMW Z4

The fucking tool saying that he got a faster car. Sorry D00D but it's still a goddamn Saturn ION, I don't give a damn if it had twin turbo's. Besides the supercharger, it's got nothing but a god aweful looking goofball wing.

Sorry saturn guy, I'd rather have the Bimmer. Guess they are advertising to the "non car enthusiast"

Cobalt SS is nicer........just the wing has to go.

You can get the low profile wing as an alternative to the funky looking one on the Redline.

that's like Jeep compared it's accelleration to a BMW 330i. geez a 325 hp Hemi against a I-6 250 hp i wonder who will win.
BTW:IMO the whole domestic "wanna-be" import compact race seen is gay. It's okay if you have a Civic Si or Supra, or 350Z. but if you take a Neon or Ion and rice it out. that's retarded.

I can agree with that. Not that I will ever like anything replacing or even being classified as "Cavalier" like. The SS is a nicer looking automobile than the Redline, especially on the wingless diet.

I don't know that the hell automotive Companies are thinking with these oddball ass comparision's... When I heard the one about the Jeep, all I could think was !!

I'll agree with the last statement as well

Its a no brainer, how else you gonna beat a car with a truck other than adding larger displacemetn engines. Hell, did you know the MB G500AMG has same acceleration as WRX STI, and it's almost double et's power.

Comparing a truck to car is irrevelent, they serve entirely different functions. I agree those commercials are dumb,but take a truck and drive it faster than other fast cars is just simply awesome.

such vehicle exist as the Hemi powered Dodge Ram, Nissan Titan, Infiniti Qx56, F150Lightning, etc

Lightning, and Ram SRT-10, fine, but any others, negative.
Because, thats what I want to do, take a huge ass vehicle and drive fast in it, and lose control because we know they have a "sports suspension" and all to keep them firmly planted to the ground.

I know I get thrilled everytime some assclown in a ford expedition comes flying by doing 70+ on a city street in moderate traffic.

Not attacking your response, but just generally
