I owned a Saturn. Worst car I've ever driven. Utter crap. No I didn't buy it, I'm not dumb. I got it for free and it took two years to kill it.

Teslas are being ranked as some of the best cars ever made for performance, safety, and style.

It's not even a close comparison. One is a car. A really good car. The other is GM playing a joke on Americans.
