last time i was possibly looking at a different car, i was at a GM dealership (that also carries Nissan and Soob) and i was looking at a WRX for a few minutes...sittin in the drivers seat...and the sales rep was like 'you know, over here we have a Saturn, its really nice, almost as fast, and the handling is better'

as he was turning away i closed my eyes, slapped myself in the forehead and just started shaking my head.

yeah, i couldnt either. but i guess you would just have to make sure they had to put a new tranny in before they could sell itJK.

ehh, i dont think they can, and i would take that all the way to court, because the salesman said i didnt need the clutch to shift.

well, if it was a Ferarri or a new BMW, then maybe, but a honda civic is still a few years away from a clutchless manual.

Subaru Impreza WRX= 230hp @ 3200lbs curb weight
Saturn Ion Redline=200hp @ 2900lbs curb weight

Which saturn was he talking about? No question which is the nicer car(but the saturn is $5k less sticker price).
I bet the redline would probably hold its own against the WRX

AWD>FWD
Subaru>GM
