"Lease your own Saturn Outlook for only $449 per month+++



Thats one expensive Saturn.

I know, but same sort of thing

I don't care how many HP are in their 9 liter V20, a porsche will A. Last longer, B. Keep me alive (or more likely to) when I'm an idiot and do that on a highway here when its raining and C. handle a hell of a lot better.

The Edge commercial was directed by David Mamet who also directed Glengary Glen Ross, The Spanish Prisoner, Untouchables, and Hoffa. Obviously his career is going nowhere.

Next thing they'll say is that the trunk space of the Ford Edge is bigger than that of a Masserati

I could also add nitrous to a Ford Pinto and get it to go faster than an X5 3.0 (just before it self-destructed)...so what?

I gauge the "desperation" of a car company by ads that selectively compare a single performance measure of their car with a single measure of another (or worse....when they compare to the 0-60 of one, the braking distance of another and the slalom speed of a third...because it couldn't beat any one of them in all three!!).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't I hear the same claim in a commercial for a POS Pontiac coupe? They are not even comparing apples to apples.
