They have already been recalled, and are said to have defective transmissions. If you compare the Camry to the Saturn Aura, the Aura, will win by a longshot. Its the next big thing waiting to happen in the automotive world. Once the public finds out about these things they wont be able to keep them on the lot. In JD Powers ranking the Aura beats CAmry in almost all categories, and in customer (and professional) reviews its not even close. The Saturn is also an rebadged Opel, giving it European looks and feel. Cars.com has great reviews by consumers and pros. The CAmry has already had a recall, while the Aura is clean of problems. Toyotas recent past should give you some clues, and its not what you think. Last year Toyota had the most recalls, but the media "failed" to notice since millions would stand against them because of thier reputation. These days reputation is nothing, technology advances so fast it cant keep up. For ex: three years ago GM was one of the worst companies, now they have the most top-rated vehicles, and the quality/reliability surpasses Toyota. Honda is still on top of the reliability ratings. Ford also had more recalls than GM and DaimlerChrysler combined, for reasons like exploding engines and wheels falling off. Here is a quote from the Washington Posts review of the Toyota CAmry "one of which is the Chevrolet Malibu, which in my real-world driving experience has been every bit as good and reliable as the much-ballyhooed Camry but has been maligned primarily because it is a Chevrolet". Oddly enough that was an '04 Malibu VS the totally redisigned '07 Camry. Common problems with Toyotas are useless cupholders, cheap stereo, grotesquely underpowered 4 cylinder engine, and plastic rattling until it falls off. People then complain that when they take it to the dealer to be fixed they just say "The cars are made with so much plastic its practically impossible to fix" GM is also the worlds fastest growing manufacturer, and that dosent happen by accident.

Then test drive them both and see which is best, I guarantee you will pick the Aura.
