I had just gotten on I-75, coming up on the DCX main headquarters building, when I saw a pack of Saturn Auras with manufacturer plates on them.

I must say, I was not that impressed at all. This is one car that looks better in pictures than in real life. Granted, a lot of the details from the concept carried over to these, what I'm guessing to be, near-production vehicles; but the proportions looked a bit odd, especially from the rear.

They said this car was supposed to rival the Acura TL. I'll go test drive one when it's available.

 

No pics of the unimpressive Saturn's?

 

I saw a black Aura about a month ago, and I have to say it looks much better than the outgoing sedan. But I like cute cars sooooo

 

just a couple of miserable pictures from my cell phone... i had it on low resolution setting, so this was the biggest I could blow it up on the Verizon gallery.

 

Geez, you weren't kidding about the low resolution... I think I see a black car in the photos.

 

Jen, you're alive!!

 

Hey, hey, at least I got the car in the shot... It takes mad photography skills to use an old cell phone camera to snap a picture going 80 mph.

 

The body style looks just like the Ford Fusion. But since you say the pictures look better than seeing it in person, I guess you saw a Ford Pinto.

 

 

True - I see Ford Fusion as well... I'll have to wait to see one it person. If the interior is close like what I've seen in te concept pictures I'll be impressed.

 

Wow, Saturns in Troy. Who would have thought ...

[Saturn Corporation/division HQ was in Troy, not sure what GM is doing with Saturn thesedays]

 

Auburn Hills, actually. Half the pack kept continuing on I-75, and some of the Auras got off at the University Drive exit by the DCX HQ.

 

maybe its just the angle of shots but it looks kinda like a neon haha..and def looks a lot like a cobalt. that ford fusion body design is WAY overkilled. i mean granted they are all probably GM companies but off the top of my dome i can think of three identical cars on the road today: ford fusion, mercury milan, and cadillac CTS

 

Yes, but they were driving up I-75 from Troy! :semantics:

I take Exit 79 at about, oh, 90 mph most of the time. Police often hang out under the bridge on I-75 there. You can't rock off freeways at that kinds of speeds anywhere I've seen outside of Michigan. Not only do you get two lanes and great curves, but then it merges in its own lane onto eastbound University.

Seriously, I moved back from Ohio just for the freeways, and I'd do the same after leaving grad school here. only if ...

I haven't had a Big Boy or been to a coney island since 3 or 4 weeks ago.
I'm doing okay!
