Default Saturns @ ATL Car Expo


Hey guys, I went to the Atlanta Car Expo today. Saturn had quite a few things there, but I got some shots of the Curve and Relay.
I'm putting together a webpage of some of the other pics we got, so I'll post a link when I get it done. You'll be able to view larger photos on the webpage. The Curve looked great in person, by the way.

Nice looking pics.

If I had known about this I might have headed over for it.

It looked pretty good. I wish They would've had it set up so you could've gotten a little bit closer to see more detail.

The show itself was ok. I was hoping to see more concept cars. They had a lot of everyday kind of cars displayed.

It really sucks that GM has decided not to build the curve. It sure would have been a nice image booster.

.............good buisness decision on their part.

The price would probably be 35K plus. Who, in all honesty, would buy a luxury saturn that costs 35K and performs like a 15K car.

Not many folks. For 35K they can get a big ol SUV......

They are building the Curve, but they are doing a Roadster similar to it..

That and the other thing is people that would buy that type of car/that expensive of a car, are not going to want a Saturn nameplate on it. Sorry, I love my saturn too, but most people have an image burned in their minds that Saturn is a cheap car and it doesn't have any prestige since they believe only low-income people would buy it.

This belief was reinforced when I was sitting in an ION3 at the show and a lady walked by saying it was a nice car and her son (probably about 9 years old) says, "Yeah, but it's still a Saturn." I said, "damn right its a Saturn" and resisted the urge to knock him into the dent resistant door panel. Little bastard...
