Just give me something that looks like a Buick Grand National or a '92 Camaro..... I'll pay the extra money for gas. Why can't they be creative and reduce the efficiency just a tad.

That was actually the design goal of Saturn - Ferrari style with Chevrolet price tag.

A few cars have got it right after Saturn. I would say the Hyundai Veloster and Tesla Model 3 top that list.

The Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice were top notch design concepts.
