PearlSky08: 'get that little piece of sh!t' off the road.

That was probably somebody who reads or was told by a friend who reads Consumer Report that it's a little POS.

I can't say that I've had any negative reactions myself. Hardly a day goes by that somebody doesn't roll down the window and ask "what kind of a car is it? A Saturn?" One guy reacted with "No way!" Or the kids yell as I go by "Love your car, Mister". Or walk all around the car while I'm filling up "How do you like it?" Love it. "What kind of gas mileage do you get?" As high as 32 and they are impressed. They end up with "Beautiful little car"

Come to think of it, I can't recollect anybody driving a Toyota or Honda complimenting or even showing interest. Is it just me, or has anybody else noticed that? Of course, there are people with an eye for beauty and just can't help themselves speaking out, and there others who just don't.

Being taken for a rich guy can cause resentment, I agree. When visiting my dealer, one guy walks in, he was obviously a family man interested in a family car, but gives the Sky in the showroom a thorough check-out, as he walk past me I asked him "do you want to buy one?" He says " what's that, about 80k?" at that point I let a salesman take over. I do believe that many people get that impression.
