Replying to: noles200 (Sep 01, 2007 10:52 am) The trunk opening size isnt the issue, its the fact that it opens about 1" when you hit the button. C&D noted this in their comparison test and GM shuld have fixed it. My parents car has gas struts and it still opens at least 3" or so when you pop open the trunk. I think its a good thing that GM has more than one nice sedan out, its nice to know people actually have trouble deciding which one to get. I suspect Malibu LTZ will be rare but most people will think all Malibus are the same and thus you will have a fairly common car.

I have had my new Aura XR for a few days now. I absolutely love this car. The styling, handling, and acceleration are all above average for what you would expect in this price range. Also, dealing with friendly Saturn dealer is a definite plus.

Replying to: noles200 (Sep 03, 2007 5:21 am) very true. Its good to note that people who have been driving imports are buying this car. I dont know how rare it is where you live but I typically see 3-4 Auras a week although most are XE models. What color do you have?

Replying to: 1487 (Sep 03, 2007 2:47 pm) What color do you have? I'm in NJ and there are quite a few Saturn dealers around but suprisingly I only see about 1 or 2 per day (unlike Camry, Accord and Altima which is probably 20 to 25 of each just on a 10 minute drive to work in the morning). Probably split 60/40 between XE and XR here. I have a berry red Aura. Sweet car and sweet color, in my opinion. I wrestled with berry red (closer to a maroon color I think) and midnight blue. How about you? BTW, I plugged in my NAV (Garmin) and noticed it does not power off when the car goes off. Why is there constant power to the outlet? Is there anyway to change that?

GM put out a bunch of vehicles with the gas struts (this is comes when you get the 4 bar hinges which are better than the big tube hinges that take up the trunk space) with very little pop up and you could not get your fingers in to open. What is wrong with 1" vs. 3"?

OK I've tested the Accord SE(4 cyl(loved everything accept the old styling and the new 08 looks like the old L300 from the side no moon roof cloth interior) Tested a Camry SE 4cyl(handling, road quietness, interior quality and styling excellent. decent options moon roof alloys with 17" Michelins power driver seat no leather) and the Aura XE 6cyl (handling, performance and great price for all the bells and whistles moon roof, cloth-no leather, perf package with alloy's but road noise a little loud inside at 70mph on hwy) The Accord SE priced out at 22,100.del; Camry SE 21,679del(a great deal on this model I think) and Aura XE 21,070 all are 07's and all have the various rebates on them to bring to delivered price. I love the look of the Aura and the Camry...I'm a Saturn fan as I've had 3 so far...so I'm leaning Saturn but do I give the Camry a chance even though it's 4cyl vs. 6 on the Aura? What do YOU think...What should I get?? Thanks in advance for you're opinions.
