4-speed automatic FWD		 Saturn seems to have a better image than a lot of other mainstream brands. see full Saturn AURA review
2007 4dr Sedan 224-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 Saturn has a reputation for not so good cards, but it has changed. I would highly recommend an Aura and will be looking at a Vue or Outlook to replace our current SUV when that time comes. see full Saturn AURA review

6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 GM on verge of bankruptcy. Saturn may be eliminated. see full Saturn AURA review
2007 4dr Sedan 252-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 I have owned GM & Honda’s, My experience with the long term reliability of the Honda’s were impressive. I can’t say the same for GM. The General now says this car’s quality is up there with the best of them, only time will tell. see full Saturn AURA review
2007 4dr Sedan 224-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 Overall, GM does not have as good a reputation as Honda or Toyota in terms of reliability, which is a major factor in my purchase decisions. I was largely willing to discount that concern on this purchase. see full Saturn AURA review
 

TrueDelta Reviews the Brand Reputation of the Hyundai Genesis

Hyundai Genesis Brand Reputation: Cons
YearComment
2009 Objectively, the brand shouldn't matter. But many potential buyers won't even consider the Genesis because it's a Hyundai. Hyundai itself has been forced to accept this, and with the 2017s (available starting in June or July) will make Genesis a separate brand. With this change, the Genesis sedan will become the Genesis G80. The Genesis badge still won't have the prestige of an Audi's four rings, much less a BMW roundel or Mercedes-Benz star, but it should prove less of a deal-killer. There still won't be separate Genesis dealerships, so the showroom ambiance and level of service still won't be those of a full luxury brand. see full Hyundai Genesis review

2012 4dr Sedan 333-horsepower 3.8L V6
8-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Our Austin area Hyundai dealership is not going convince anyone that they deal in luxury vehicles. While the dealership displays are comfortable and convenient, they are about a decade behind true luxury settings. And the service areas? Egads. Imagine a cross between urban Sears auto service and Walmart. Their service reps are a mixed bag: some quite professional and helpful, other not so much. I strongly suggest they take their service reps and go visit a Lexus dealer or at least an Acura dealer for a field trip. While they're at it, they should just steal some blueprints for design ideas. Hyundai vehicles are better than too many of the showrooms from which they are are sold. I liked the very straightforward sales process, and would willing see full Hyundai Genesis review

6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 I wanted to be one of the people to form the bandwagon, not jump on it later. In the early 1990s, Toyota created a serious luxury competitor, and is now one of the top 3 luxury mfrs. Hyundai is poised to out-Lexus, Lexus, and I want to be part of that. see full Hyundai Genesis review
