Saturn Relay anyone?

The Relay is not a "real Saturn". No plastic exterior body panels. I'd like to see an ad where they crash shopping carts into it; then say "whoops, I thought it was a Saturn". I guess you could call it the replacement for the Oldsmobile minvan.

Saturn's page says the Relay gets 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway which seems terrible to me. Are you saying that there are vehicles that get worse?

My Tundra gets 15 mpg's and has a 27 gal tank - I'm sure the H2 gets worse mileage...
 
Gee, I wish my Sedona got that good mileage (16/20). Of course, there are trucks/cars with more consumption. Get yerself a Suburban or Excursion with the large engine. You'll be lucky to get 12-15 MPG.
Yeah the Abrams gets like 1/2 mile per gallon too....

Ahh, but you can run it on anything - kerosene, vegitable oil, camel dung... :)

Has anyone had any experience with the Saturn Relay?

I just discovered them today and was admiring the SUV look of the Relay. I have owned SUV's for 20 years. I currenly own a 95 Jeep Cherokee Limited and have decided to start shopping for something new again. Now with kids, a dog, etc., I am leaning towards the Relay BUT only because it doesnt look like a spaceship :). I love my Jeep, loved my Blazer, and have never been fond of the mini-van but for some reason this appeals to me. Reading the posts here, gas mileage is something to consider based on what you can afford to pay. I am happy with 18mpg-.. which is what I get with my Jeep. People who bark at the mpg should realize that if they drive 50 miles a day, only making 20,000 a year, they need to buy a more efficient CAR and not an SUV or Van. I think I will pull one more summer with my Jeep and see what happens with the Relay in October when the 2006 come out. I never thought I would consider a minivan.. :).
