I am not sure about the back of it. I am not sure if it is some odd reflections or something, but it appears to be smiling at me.

Looks good! It has an Infiniti/Audi look to it. That's a great styling addition to Saturn's lineup.

I was thinking Passat when I saw it.

that car LOOKS like it is RWD. It's probably FWD, but it LOOKS RWD to me.

That's a pretty good looking car. If they keep it looking like that, then I'm sure it will be a pretty good seller.

Looks nice. I hope they nail the fuel economy in this thing... that's really the way for GM to take market share back from Toyota again.

The rear looks a bit like the new Infiniti G sedan.

I wish I could see the interior. GM has been ranging from slightly above average to out of the park with interiors lately so I'm sure it will be good.

Very nice looking outside...

So we got the G6. Then the Aura. Then the new Malibu. Now we're looking at a possible future Aura - but the G6 is still rotting away?

I agree on the mpg aspect. Some "XFE" tomfoolery to get the highway up a bit (espicially with the I4+A6 combo) would really make it a homerun.
