The only real Saturns (not the rebadged Opels) that I have ever seen were older S-Series privately imported in the early '90s, so I can't tell you if I like the looks of the L-Series more than I liked the Vectra. But anyway, unless I move to another country where used car imports are not so restricted as they are in Brazil, I doubt there will remain any L-Series once they reach the 30-year deadline that allows for import of used cars as collectors' items. BTW is the V6 a High-Value?

As long as it could lead to an easier detection of material fatigue and easier repairability than carbon fiber, sounds like it would become a great option for aircraft.

What do you think of the front and rear suspensions on the flat-pack floorpan?

It doesn't look so much more complex. Is there any great improvement over the setup used in the later Beetles that I missed?
