I was coaching my buddy and his dad at a trackday and he rented a Saturn Aura and his dad was in a Nissan Maxima. It was their first time on the track but I had them passing C6 Corvettes, M3's, RX7's, S4's, Ferrari's, etc. by the middle of the day.
I was impressed with the Aura. Its suspension isn't as bad as I thought it would be, especially for a car that big. It was very underpowered on the track. However, I'm sure it's perfectly adequate on the street.

A car enthusiast doesn't care about the badge/brand. Also, if I was in the market a year later I would most likely have gone with the Pontiac G8. But, at the time the Aura was the best car that I liked. It is a good car.
