I'd buy one of those over an SLK strictly based on looks.
The Aura resembles the old Vectra( it isn't the Vectra due to it is on the longer wheelbase of the platform. It more equals the G6).

Saturn is dead. As stated in my post above, the Insignia is coming to the states as the Buick Regal.

I had to led the Jaguar Dealer on that I was interested in the XFR to get a decent drive in it so when he rung me up to say that all of the UK dealers he used to off load trade-in stock wouldn't even quote for my M3 and the only offer he got was from the local dealer who sold me the M3 I was a bit shocked as well as to how much money it had lost.

I doubt anything running a V8 engine would be doing any better on the re-sale market but that hardly softens the blow of potentially losing £18K in 8 months. Hopefully the market will pick up again in the near future and come next year or there about I will be able to look again for a replacement for the M3, but as for now I will be sticking put and in any case there isn't a lot better cars to spend your time with.

Any how I can't think of a car I would really want to change to, I don't fancy throwing another £50K+ into an RS5 when it comes out and the TT-RS maybe desirable but it's too small for my needs at the moment. I wished I had ordered a E90 M3 instead of the coupe as I can't use it for the whole family and instead have to use the Golf.

No I think I will wait until the RS4 is released and then think about a change, but only if I can get a decent price for the M3.

P.S.
I must have suffered a brainfuck with my quote last time. Maybe I was too heavy on the sauce at that time.
