Looks nice, prefer it to the Chevy actually. I think the interior finally matches the “premium” brand and while props on the tailgate, I have my doubts on it being maintenance free...

I will say, GM’s new shiftier is a little confusing when using it for the first few times... Never has up and left been a natural way to select reverse, nor has pushing a button to select park...

On a scale of “Not very” to “Completely”, how brown were his pants after the fact?

Thinking outside the box here... But it’s technically “forbidden” once you no longer fit in it... And it is powered by a Honda...

My mom had a POS 2012 GMC Acadia, leased for 2 years... It was during that second year I learned how to exist with other motorists and pass my drivers test on the first try. I do regret not learning a stick, but thatss a skill I hope to pick up soon.

I think this is more like the end of an era really... While I don’t believe (and will fight against) the idea of total autonomy and all “clean” vehicles it will eventually happen. The vehicles we drive now will soon be collectors items as a remembrance of a time when we had the freedom to drive and burn “dirty” fuel.

The only “safety” feature I’ve become accustom to is backup cameras. Otherwise I don’t pay much attention to things that are supposed to make driving “easier”.

Not a surprise in European markets, but the Saturn Astra was designed in Germany, built in Belgium and then shipped to the US...

I liked Saturn’s naming for the Astra... XE, XR, XR w/ Sport Package. The C6 is confusing, LT#, Z# and so on...

Out of curiosity, how much HP? and what did you get MPG wise? I had 180 and averaged 20-25...

Having a 17' terrain with the Pioneer sound system, I have to ask how the (presumably) Bose system sounds in that thing...

Did you have the 1.8 I4? I think they could have been the same, but not entirely sure with mine being an “import”...

I remember the lady who examined my driving showed up in a burgundy SWB Envoy...

I wish I had auto-crossed my Saturn... Especially with its “sport” package... Too bad it was an 4 speed auto.

I used my first car to take my drivers test in as we had owned the car since it was new. I passed on my first try and went on my first solo drive that evening. A year later, I got rear-ended and sold it before my first year of college.

It’s funny that the lower peninsula uses road salt and thus ruins every car after 10-20 years and the upper peninsula uses sand and thus keeps cars on the road a little longer...

Get a Traxxas Slash... It’s like the real thing, only 1/10th scale and (kind of) cheaper...

I will say, it looks good up until you get to the bumper... THEN YOU HAVE THAT STUPID SQUISHED GRILL!!! STOP DOING THIS LEXUS!!!

I’m surprised dodge is still around... I’m even more surprised that dodge still makes the journey...

This seems to enforce the reputation of BMW drivers not being as smart as their car may suggest...
