I have never seen a car dogged out like this before---really terrible. I am sure the auto company must have placed a price on the future destruction of the reputation of the commentator and test driver or better still, the Engineers of the auto company may have cried their eyes out in a break room, wiping the tears of disgrace and sniffling for compassion to anyone who can help their self esteem. ***Shake head for shame***

The current style of saturn aura is based off of a Opel. But i remeber reading that the new Saturn aura that will be coming out soon is based off of a vectra. They said it will be exactly the same except for little things that are required to be on American roads. Also probably offer different engine choices. Like lacking the option for a diesel.

The Saturn Aura and the Vauxhall Vectra share the same crappy chassis. The biggest difference is that the Vauxhall is proper wheel drive, and the Saturn is front wheel drive.

Yeah, I love that line: "Catastrophic Understeer", then he crosses his arms, and looks at the steering wheel saying : "well that's useless isn't it..."

I have a feeling that the wrong wheel drive will help "correct" the understeer problem..

Thanks for improving my day, Noah.

Highly doubtful. That mazda, is a mazdaspeed6, which comes turbocharged. That Vauxhall goes 0-60 in 5.3 seconds. The G35 sedan is 5.6 in the 0-60.

However, if there is a turn in that race, you obviously have him beat.

Over zealous G owner.

Mazda "speed" series is like the Neon* SRT-4. Cheap, crappy, and Faster than our 30k-40k pseudo-luxury sports coupe/sedans.

* I specified Neon, because the next SRT-4 is based on a heavier uglier vehicle which slips my mind right now.

Mazdaspeed6 and mazdaspeed3 are slower then the 07+sedan.

That Cathastrofic understeer was good. Somehow this is a first time I've seen it. Thanks beener.

Only cars I saw in the video were the Vauxhall Vectra, the Mazda and the Ford.

20k Pound Sterling is about $40k.

That was no mazdaspeed.... focus was 1sec behind them so I doubt it. It was the 4L mazda 6
