My dealer closed! What do I do?
That’s the frantic question that I got from a family friend last night, when the phone was thrust at me. It was concerning a local Saturn dealership and it was the second one in two days about the same dealer, Tony March Saturn of Hartford.

2009 Chevrolet Traverse: First Drive
Overview We were impressed with General Motors' all-new three-row car-based SUVs when we tested them in 2007. We found the Buick Enclave and Saturn Outlook to be roomy and quiet, with very good ride and handling characteristics. Along with the GMC Acadia, those large SUVs filled the ro...

From the logbook: Ford Escape
So there's mostly good news about the redesigned Escape. It's certainly family-friendly and fairly easy to live with on a day-to-day basis. We'll see how it compares to some of the other new models in this class--including the Jeep Patriot, Kia Sportage, and Saturn Vue--in an upcoming tes...

Just In: Saturn Vue XR
To me, the Vue's new exterior looks a lot like various Hyundai and Kia SUVs. This isn't a big surprise, given this Vue's global origins. Although the enthusiast magazines have been harping on the Opel connection--this Vue is basically identical to the Opel Antara that will be sold in Europe...

Personal Picks: Midsized SUVs
The close scores in our most recent group of three-row SUVs shows how competitive this market is becoming. Nothing is quite perfect, but two models from this group especially appeal to me, more so than the ever-so-practical box-on-wheels Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander. We've written...

Personal picks: Luxury SUVs, part 1
By all accounts, many "luxury" SUVs aren't necessarily better than their cheaper counterparts. And, in our testing, some even don't score as well. For example, the Toyota Highlander Hybrid actually outscores the more expensive Lexus hybrid model, the RX400h (as well as the non-hybrid R...

Saturn Sky Redline: Fewer clouds overhead
Continuous improvement is a very good thing in the car business. Consider the Pontiac Solstice. While eye-catching, the 2006 Solstice we tested ultimately wasn't that impressive to drive. During my long drive back from the out-of-state dealer where we bought the in-demand car, the Solst...

From the logbook: Saturn Outlook
When I wrote "Is the Sun Setting on Saturn?" in our original blog from the 2006 Detroit Auto Show, I honestly wasn't sure where this GM division was going. Since then, we've been mildly impressed with the Auras we've tested; the Aura only lacks at least average reliability data to be CR Reco...

Just In: Saturn Outlook
What's so new? These SUVs are essentially full-sized "car-based" SUVs. While most full-sized SUVs are built on a frame, usually shared with a pickup truck, these new SUVs feature unibody construction. The all-new Outlook/Acadia platform actually isn't shared with any GM sedan, but "ca...
