Quote: Plus, it's a Toyota, so you get reliabilty and resale value.
I wouldn't bet on "reliability and resale value" coming from a brand new car on a brand new platform from a brand new company, and, yes, that's coming from someone who bought an '03 Mazda6. And, yeah, "it's a Toyota", but Pontiac and Saturn are both General Motors and the reliability and resale aren't even in the same ballpark.
Sure, you get a pretty nice car for $16K, there's no doubt -- makes me wonder where they cut corners to save money.
