What a crazy world we live in. Yesterday Apple Computer
announced
it was going to begin shipping its computers with Intel inside, and today we find out that Saturns are winning beauty
pageants (
#1,
#2). I’m expecting monkeys to fly out of my butt at any moment. Of course, said Saturn
pageant winners are not current production vehicles, but the Pontiac Solstice-based Sky convertible and the Aura
four-door sedan, both of which debuted at this year’s Detroit Auto Show. These cars are slated for production as soon
as their fetching exteriors get watered down by GM brass
to the point we don’t like them anymore, and then GMC and Buick will each get a version with different grilles and
taillights. We kid because we love. Actually, we totally agree that these two cars could change Saturn’s fortunes and
repair the damage inflicted by the evil Ion.
