The Relay is not a "real Saturn". No plastic exterior body panels. I'd
like to see an ad where they crash shopping carts into it; then say "whoops, I thought it was a Saturn". I guess you could call it the replacement for the Oldsmobile minvan.

underwear and scratched on the wall: >>> >>> Saturn's page says the Relay gets 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway which >>> seems >>> terrible to me. Are you saying that there are vehicles that get worse? Gee, I wish my Sedona got that good mileage (16/20). Of course, there are trucks/cars with more consumption. Get yerself a Suburban or Excursion with the large engine. You'll be lucky to get 12-15 MPG. >>My Tundra gets 15 mpg's and has a 27 gal tank - I'm sure the H2 gets >>worse mileage... >> >> > Yeah the Abrams gets like 1/2 mile per gallon too.... Ahh, but you can run it on anything - kerosene, vegitable oil, camel dung... -- kai www.perfectreign.com a palm tree nodded at me last night, he said, you look so pale... |

I currenly own a 95 Jeep Cherokee Limited and have decided to start shopping for something new again. Now with kids, a dog, etc., I am leaning towards the Relay BUT only because it doesnt look like a spaceship . I love my Jeep, loved my Blazer, and have never been fond of the mini-van but for some reason this appeals to me. Reading the posts here, gas mileage is something to consider based on what you can afford to pay. I am happy with 18mpg-.. which is what I get with my Jeep. People who bark at the mpg should realize that if they drive 50 miles a day, only making 20,000 a year, they need to buy a more efficient CAR and not an SUV or Van. I think I will pull one more summer with my Jeep and see what happens with the Relay in October when the 2006 come out. I never thought I would consider a minivan.. . |
