In before all the comments from those who didn't finish the article exclaiming that they never knew the old Saturn existed.

It seems like the company is limiting their market significantly by only selling the version of the car with diamond-encrusted headlights. If they sold one with regular headlamps at a steep discount, they might actually survive for a couple years instead of being pure vaporware.
The "boring" factor is exactly what makes MotorWeek awesome, and is the reason that the show hasn't changed much in its entire history. John presents every car's positives and negatives without waxing poetic like Clarkson does, and the result is a rational and unique look at some of the best cars on the market. While…
The early Celica remains the best example of the Japanese beating all of America's car companies at their muscle-car styling game. It just flawlessly mixed bits of the AMX, Mustang, and 'Cuda in a small, well-handling package.
The White Stripes are one of those bands that was consistently good throughout their history, and produced plenty of albums, all of significant length. Even though they're gone now, their catalog is large enough to stay entertained for a long time.
And have a vegetable-burning Fox Body? This seems like a cheap, questionably-engineered way to make purists from any camp mad.
As much as I love the Merc, there's no way in hell that you could make one more exciting to drive than the Fox Body on the cheap. However, as fast as the Fox is, it has absolutely zero refinement or class. It's a tough choice, but I chose the performance option.
I'm still hurt that we haven't seen the Tuatara go into production yet. I trusted you, SSC!
They state 2,000 HP and 0-60 in 2.8, but there's absolutely zero information on their website about their engine and supposed 8-speed transmission beyond those sky-high spec claims. Though I would love to see another hypercar maker to succeed, this has no indication so far of being anything but vaporware.
The 924 deserves every bit of hatred it gets for being a slow, ugly non-Porsche, but there's no way you could ever dislike a 240.
But this is Jalopnik, so the cheap speed of the Subie may well trump reliability and even the Jeremy Clarkson cred of the Toyota.
But the E36 isn't even a beater anymore. Values are starting to come back up, and owners with low-mileage bubble-wrapped examples are coming out of the woodwork.
This was the one I spent by far the most time mulling over. In the end I believe I chose the 240, but it was such a close call that I can't recall clearly right now. The Merc is a better overall car, but the Volvo is so much more interesting.
You'll always be able to tell yours apart from mine by the fact that mine's on a trailer in the avatar. Since about 2010, I have never changed the photo to reflect the fact that I actually did work to that precious 240Z.
I'd fully expect to buy this and have it fall apart in the first few days of ownership, given the details surrounding the build. It'd pretty reasonable to grab the shell of a 914 and a Subie engine for under $5K and spend a little more money and time putting something together myself.
Exactly. Those who didn't vote Previa obviously forgot how awesome it is.
I had forgotten their plans for a sedan. We're all lucky that didn't happen. The one of the left looks like its inspired the design for the C7 'Vette's side scoops, in retrospect.
I haven't been keeping much track of Foster the People lately, so thanks for letting me know their new album is due soon! I own Torches and I'll be sure to buy this next one.
I've been waiting for this feature since we found out you guys were over in Europe, and I'm not at all disappointed. They keep quite a clean and impressive shop.
An empty threat, yes, but an effective marketing technique. It's not likely we would've seen it on Jalopnik without the addition of that little sign.
