Anyone notice 1/2 empty car lots? Here in Springville the inventory is waaaay lower than I can ever remember at the Ford and Chrysler lots. ---

I’m sorry, I’m an uber hater for GM, but that is NOT a good thing to be. I’ll take a car that doesn’t depreciate 10 fold after a year or so over a cheaply made saturn. I mean don’t get me wrong, if your looking for a first car out of high school, sure go ahead and rock a saturn, but I’d never buy a GM new in my life. Not even worth my time. ---

Not to mention you’d be paying much closer to sticker on the VW whereas the Chevy dealer would be throwing discounts at you ---

That’s because you could get way more money back on the resale of a VW even though they’re not considered the greatest of reliable cars. ---

I picked the performance versions because they are more likely to be cars people on nyspeed would buy. ---

Mybe you guys dont realize how easy my Saturn is to work on/find parts for. My 01 Sc2 is like a friggen Lego set. I can go to the junkyard and find almost any 1.9 twin cam from 93-02 and have the part I need on it. It never rusts, it takes one hell of a hit, and if my motor/trans for some reason dies, I can have another one in it within three hours in my driveway for under $100. I really dont care about the value of the car, cause if this one gets wrecked, I can buy another one for $500 and have all my “mods” swap over without any complication. ---

The GLI is the top of the line Jetta. Seems to me its a pretty apples to apples comparison. Edit: I love how brainwashed (ie: stupid) some of you domestic haters are that you can’t even acknowledge actual facts. ---

I’m gonna miss Saturn. They were way ahead of the game. I really wish they didn’t sell out to GM, I bet they would be the best selling car in America right now if they hadn’t. ---
