Saturn/Pac Man commercial

Anyone seen that new ad for the Saturn Vue?
Just caught it on TLC. It's got the Vue driving around a 'maze' of streets gobbling up power pills with all the Pac Man sounds playing.
Grabbed my attention  ;D

Yeah, I noticed they credited Namco at the end "in small print on the bottom of the screen"; I thought that was cool too.

Saw it a couple times now.  Very interesting.  :)  I liked it alot.  Not enough to buy one... but enough to make note.

Ya we had an SC1 for a few years, I wouldn't buy another Saturn.
Just couldn't get past the plastic body. Everytime I slammed the door it just felt cheap...well that and the engine block cracked >:( under warranty luckily.

The free carwashes were nice though.

I have an early model Saturn which I got for free (thanks) and I agree they feel way too plasticy.  A lot of that has to do with their dent-resistant panels.  Since they are plastic, they grow and shrink in heat and cold so they are sized and placed to account for these changes. Unfortunately, that makes the Saturn seem cheap.   I do have two things to say about my saturn (SL1): first, it has never had any enigne problems and second it is designed to be safe.  I know at least three people who escaped death or serious injury because they were in a Saturn.
