I am in the midst of shopping for a new g35s with a good friend and fellow NICO member yesterday when we decide to look at the new saturn red line just for the heck of it, being that it was right next door.

My conclusion: Piece of junk :D , but seriously everything is out of place. There are ridges, scoops, and what not in the body that are pointless and out of place. The sideview mirrors are made of a material similar to rubbermaid storage bins, there is at least a 3" gap between the wheels and fenders. I am just not impressed with the car at all.

Thoughts, comments?

Except for the interior, you seem to be describing the BMW 5-series and Z4. :)

Yes, being an avid BMW fan, I am EXTREMELY dissapointed in their current work. The new 5-series or most of the models for that matter look like friggin pontiacs with all the ridges and crap. BMW...:rolleyes :confused:

Yeah, I just figured that they would at least make it acceptable. Being that it is ALOT slower than the srt-4, i assumed they would make up for it in aesthetics, and such. Saturn stated that it would be a direct competitor to the MSP, SRT-4, etc. :rolleyes
