For all those who think that American automakers can't make a car that handles well, I respectfully request that they take a test drive in the Saturn Aura. The new mid-size Saturn is an outstanding car to drive, plus it's much quieter and more comfortable than your average European sport-luxury sedan. Furthermore, the 3.6 liter V6 and six-speed automatic in the top-of-the-line Aura XR is a world-class powertrain. I've always said that General Motors is capable of great things, and the Saturn Aura bolsters that argument.

So why didn't it win?
With no four-cylinder model and limited option and interior color choices, the Aura doesn't offer buyers as much variety as competitors like the Ford Fusion, Nissan Altima and Toyota Camry.
