- Since Saturns are very price competetive in their class (and chock
- full 'o' features, too), that extra profit is well deserved... You can't
- say that a comparably equipped Saturn and Civic are that much apart in price,
- and in my experiences this summer, the Saturn ended up about $100 cheaper than
- the Civic. (SL1 vs Dx sedan) Similar eq. levels...
