Heck, no! I'm not advocating that anyone buy American just for the sake of patriotism. Generally speaking, foreign cars are a better value overall anyway.
I'm just sayin' that back when having a Saturn actually meant something we got a very good car. My Mother bought the same car for the next model year and loves it. But a sister and SIL both got lemons when they bought Saturns several years after ours, which would have been about when you bought your Honda.
GM let the company go into the tank because they didn't think it was profitable enough. That's greed for ya. But now that they're restructuring, Saturn made it's own move to find a buyer which would restore the brand to its original quality. There's hope for Saturn yet!
And if we need a new car before they can put together a quality vehicle, I'll lean strongly toward a Subaru Outback/Forester.
