Saturn Aura

Interesting how CR can Preview a product that is still only a concept car and has never seen any production yet. Concept is the operative word. Yep, the Aura will see production, but exactly what and when, the jury will be out when final production occurs.

um, now you piqued my curiosity, do you plan on driving your car from behind the trunk? lol

Well, it is listed as a 2007 car. This publication makes for some fascinating reading actually. Some of the most reliable cars look to be the most dangerous.

Would you buy a car that has an EPA of 60/51 city/highway when the car looks like it could never survive a collision with all occupants dead?

I'd rather go for a balance, good fuel economy, good performance, good quality build.

Moving the license plate below the trunk, onto the bumper makes the placement of the license plate an afterthought. I find cars with license plates designed to fit above the bumper to be much more appealing.

Also, moving the gas cap to the passenger side is inconvinient - and not making it a self locking cap is just plain insulting. The older Saturn models have it, thus why so many older Saturn cars will continue to be driven by their original owners for a great many more years to come.

"fish" typed until their fingers bled, and came up with:

Really? My '95 SC1 has the plate in the bumper, and it looks like it was well thought out.

Now THAT is a more honest and accurat comment than your 1st one.

I personally prefer it on the passenger side. I hate having to sqeeze out between the car and the pole that protects the pump.

- and

If you say so.

I have many reasons that I'll continue to drive my '95, but the latching gas cap door really isn't high on that list.
