New Saturn Outlook XE 2009 reviews :One Heck of a Deal! Check it Out! 2009

New Saturn Outlook XE 2009, My third Saturn and, without hesitation, having owned everything from Chevy to Cady and Japanese autos (and Ford), my very most favorite vehicle. My two months of research and test drives paid off. I think that, once folks have done their homework, they will find the Outlook beats the competition hands down. Overall, IMHO, the best value on the market. I am not a GM or Saturn employee. Similar, but not as well equiped SUVs ran from $10K for a Toyota to over $30K and more more for Escalades, Mercedes, etc
