i think this is a great thing now I'm just a little upset bc i bought an 06 two months ago oh well.... oh and I'm getting really sick of the ******** on autoblog they still have a shitload of negative comments about this.... they complain that it is not enough years but the only person that i personally know that drives any less than 15k miles a year is my mom.... not only that but i can see this getting a lot more truck sales from Dodge and Ford bc everyone that i know that uses their truck for work everyday( like myself) puts 18k+ a year on their truck and i easily put over 20k a year on mine.... so with that i very well may be trading my truck in in 2 years to get that nice warrenty

They did it mainly to show that they are INDEED more reliable than toyota's you'd be suprised to hear how many people actually think these cars are unreliable when the reality is that they aren't they are VERY RELIABLE

That will make a huge difference, more so than just the time and distance, which is still great.

speaking of saturns.... my dad has two of them and both went well over 200,000 miles with no major repairs... he currently has a 98 Sc2? whatever the "sporty" model was, with 250,000 miles and everything is still in very good condition, but i still bust on him all the time about getting a new car.

id be AMAZED if they put that warrenty on teh Camaro and the Vette. But stranger things have happened. Only thing is that when ig et a new Camaro it wont be stock for long.
This warrenty should definatly help sales. Id hate to have GM up and **** the bed before the Camaro comes out. GL

Powertrain
There are two engines available: a 2.2-liter/143-horse I-4 and a 3.5-liter/250-horse V-6. If the specs for that V-6 remind you of those for the engine in the Honda Pilot, that’s because it is the engine in the Honda Pilot. While GM produces a similar powerplant (3.6-liter/255-horse V-6) for the Cadillac SRX, this supplier relationship gives Saturn import-fighting credentials and blesses the model with the Honda quality reputation. As in the Pilot, the smooth engine features variable valve timing, a flexible powerband, and respectable fuel economy. The four-cylinder is available with a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic and is fitted only in the front-drive configuration. The V-6 is teamed with a five-speed automatic in either front- or all-wheel drive. The top engine is a tempting choice for the power and performance. When weighing the cost, consider that the V-6 matches the I-4 with a manual transmission for highway fuel economy—an impressive feat.

BTW, i just pointed out that on the Saturn Vue so others who didnt know, now know that its a Honda rolling around on four GM wheels.
