43: Saturn SL2

The compact cars of the early 1990s are some of the most memorable to most millennials in one sense or another. We’ve all either ridden in one or had a parent that owned one of these well-known cars. Saturn was a brand that was particularly successful for a brand new offering with the sales far exceeding the expectations of General Motors. On top of that, the S-Series was made of a dent-resistant material, which was the first of its kind for a car. Sadly, as time went on these Saturns to relegated to rental car fleets and eventually forgotten.

By the end of the new millennium, the Saturn brand was nothing more than rebadged models of other GM cars. The originality was gone and most of the original fans of the brand had long since moved on. Nowadays you’ll see an original Saturn from time to time, but the cars have mostly died off. The reliability was never a strong point and with no dealer network left most of the warranties and servicing have dried up.
