The 2008's have barely been out more than 2 moths. I would not hold my breath waiting for info on the 2009s for a while still. Aux in is rumored to be coming in the next gen, I don't know about 2009.

This car is a complete flop, I have not seen a single one on the road, and I live about 5 miles from a Saturn dealer that has a ton on the lot.

Yes it it does look good, but it does not sell, it's expensive, it does not have enough feautures or hp, the MPG is not high enough and again, it's too expensive, and there is no way to make it cheaper without GM further loosing their a$$ on the car.

This car needs to be made in Lordstown OH or Ramos Mexico ASAP, it needs to be able to get at least 40MPG hwy with a manual, a normal radio, a better looking trip computer that tells time normally and easier to use, an optional navigation system, bluetooth, again ADVERTISEMENTS, a lower base price(hence the US production)some advertising(?I have not seen any commercials for just the Astra) and optional higher performance version, a normal sedan, ADVERTISEMENTS,

Have you driven one?

Didn't think so, try it.

If its drives so well why are you not an owner?

Becuase I just bought a truck in August. If I can get the money together to get one as well as my truck, I would. The Astra and the G8 are the two cars I have on my wish list right now.

I do and absolutely love the car. I agree though this car needs to be advertised more, the car itself is fine, people just need to get in and look at it.

Right. If I were not an active member both on here and SaturnFans.com, as well as being a regular at the Saturn dealership, I'd hardly even know this car even existed. That, I think is the case here.

I'm not sure how you can say this already, the thing is only two months old. Maybe it's just my area, but I've got two 5 doors on my street already and I'm strongly considering an XR for myself.

Consider it no more. Go buy one! They're not cheap, neither in price, nor content, nor construction, so that's a good thing. :yup: And they handle beautifully!
