Look-out for the Saturn Outlook!
Source: Edmunds

...We've had our Outlook XR for almost 9 months now and have never had a problem with it.
It is very spacious and comfortable inside. The exterior design is bold and aggressive.
(Especially with the Carbon Flash finish and 19" wheels.) I would recommend this vehicle to anyone with a large or small family like ours.
Even small families need extra room at times. I can't wait to take it on vacation to Florida.
Don't pay too much attention to the negative comments and problems that owners have mentioned on this site.
Sure, some are warrented but, there are many, many more...

If I Could Afford Two I Would Buy Another One. Too Bad 2009 Is The Last Year For Saturn In Canada.

...Family of 6. Wanted an alternative to the dreaded mini van and this was it!
Lot's of "comfortable" passenger space and storage.
Just as much in fact as our Montana Van that we GLADLY traded on the Outlook. Very Quick, tight,no wind noise, no road noise can't say anything wrong at this point. Perhaps GM FINALLY GOT IT RIGHT!!...

Best For the Buck

...My Budget didn't account for the Luxury vehicle we wanted but the Outlook was an amazing solution.
It is dollar for dollar everything I expected and more.
It has the look and feel of a Luxury vehicle and I've noticed more heads turning and more compliments than I have with our previous vehicles.
I keep hearing, " I didn't Know Saturn made anything this nice."...

I bought a Saturn and... wow!

...She saw the Acadia when it came out, and fell in love, but the Saturn is the best bang for the buck in the Lambda platform. We were able to buy a well- epuipped Outlook for less than base Acadia money. We found the Enclave(the Traverse would also) to be much harder to see out of because of the ramped up rear side window and small back glass. The Outlook has the 2nd best-looking interior after only the Enclave. It is averaging a true 18.9 mpg, which is better than I expected. It is very smooth, has a quiet ride, with very decent power for a 4600# car. I never thought I'd buy a Saturn, but...

..."I have one of these Outlooks and I like it....a lot. It is gray on the outside with gray on the inside. I really like the cupholders and the seats are nice."...

Great Roomy Suv With All The Options You Could Ask For.

...This is the quietest SUV I have ever owned or driven, and for its size it handles great and it looks great also! Buy One!...

Back to American

...After having a couple Honda Pilots, GMC Yukon along with several other SUV's...
My wife absolutely loves this one! I think GM finally is ahead of the competition with all that this vehicle offers.
EXCELLENT Mpg, comfy, plenty of room yet not overwhelmingly large like some. Job well done!...

2009 Saturn Outlook XR fwd
Source: Edmunds

...This vehicle is extremely stable. I have avoided three potential accidents by being able to swerve hard to avoid hitting idiot drivers not watching while changing lanes.
The computer control stability system really works well.
It has all the power needed plus some. (290hp) I got 23.5 mpg on a trip to Texas.
16 to 17 in town with a very light foot. Love the design in and out
!! No rattles or squeaks. Door closes like a vault door. Quiet on the road with little wind noise. Love the sliding center armrest! Tons of cargo space with the seats down...

..."Our XR is the first brand new car we have ever bought. We bought this car on the very day they announced they would discontinue the Saturn line...

Love my Saturn Outlook
Source: Edmunds

...This is without a doubt the most comfortable vehicle I've ever owned.
I took a trip, drove 18 hours straight and got out of the vehicle with no back pain.
The whole trip was relaxing. The Outlook handles great on snowy, slushy roads. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone...

Why should I also consider these?

Shoppers looking for vehicles in this class prefer the passenger space of a minivan without the outward design of one, and in most cases, off-road ability isn’t needed.

One negative for the Outlook is pricing; the base XE model is a good value, but pile the XR with options and it can exceed $45,000, which is as much as some same-size luxury-brand models.

The CX-9 has a sportier look and feel, and it appeals to those who want to drive a little more enthusiastically.

The Toyota Highlander offers a sleeker appearance and revamped interior appointments.

Then there's the Pilot, which has a simpler, boxier appearance but good performance from its V-6 powertrain.

The Ford Flex—which is basically replacing the Ford Taurus X—holds the trump card for styling.

To most shoppers, the Flex’s distinct boxy appearance and three rows of comfortable seating is a strong selling point; the Flex also promises safety rivaling that of the Outlook.

 
2009 Ford Flex
The 2009 Ford Flex is one of the most stylish new crossovers, with great passenger room and more features than some minivans.
 
2009 Honda Pilot
The 2009 Honda Pilot looks more SUV-like in its second edition, but it has the room of a minivan, along with some notable styling miscues and expensive choices to make from the options list.
 
2008 Mazda CX-9
The 2008 Mazda CX-9 may be the best-driving full-size seven-passenger crossover out there. It is certainly one of the best looking and appointed.
 
2008 Toyota Highlander
Most Americans prefer mushy white bread, and the 2008 Toyota Highlander is a larger, high-quality "loaf" that will satisfy most every consumer.
