The FWD 4 QuickTour starts here.
Start with the lively Ecotec™ 2.2-liter, dual-overhead-cam, four-cylinder engine. Add four-wheel independent suspension for a car-like ride. Next, get out your yardstick -- eight-inch ground clearance, yet low step-in height, car-friendly bumpers and a steel spaceframe structure that forms a protective cage around the passenger cabin. All for an M.S.R.P. of $17,125*. Options include an Anti-lock Braking System with Traction Control.

i want something under 20k
the reason i like these because i can buy these for 0% financing for 60 months
plus they come with 6 yrs 100,000 miles warranty
If I were you, I'd stay away from American. Plus I just don't like the squashy front lights of Saturns.
I’d boot the Outlander.
There are better SUVs in the market. They include:
The Honda CRV :
$18,900 - $22,400
The Toyota Rav4 :
$16,625 - $18,025
The Ford Escape :
$18,710 - $27,085
The Mazda Tribute :
$18,455 - $24,630
The Nissan X-Terra
$17,999 - $27,999

of the 2 choices I would go for an outlander.
agreed defenately, the outlander sux all the way, the quality and options both are bad 
guys the reason i like saturn is because it looks big too..bigger then the toyota and the honda...plus it comes with 100000 mile warranty..but my family doesnt wanna buy an american car so i m not sure
The choice is yours, but I wouldnt spend my money on those two.

how can anyone say that ford explosion..err whatever that is..is a decent SUV. rav 4 is a the ugliest small SUV on teh market, with the exception of that monstrosity Isuzu had put out..the two door SUV and the crazy suzuki 2 seater SUV.
CRV is extremely overrated. and the Xterra is Butt ugly inside and handles like a delivery truck.
Probably better to buy a used 4 runner or pathfinder than any of the cars named above.
sheraz this may help

thats what you get when you ask guppies for advice.
Why don't you consider the Honda Element- only available in the US and designed for the US market. It kind of fits the SUV criteria!! Have a look at it - you may like it.

sheraz my bro, u asked ppl for advise and you gave them your parameters, I just told u which one is better of the two. If you want to look at other options then u may benefit from all the comparisons of umpteen diff sport utes. between these two, which u narrowed your list down to for your reasosn and probably did some sound thinking to do that, the better vehicle is the outlander. If i had to pick from those 2, thats what I will pick. desis usually dont budge from honda toyota .. no harm in checking out other products.
or you can join the rest of the desi qaum and buy a 1992 maroon toyota corolla, hang a cd with an ayat on the mirror and put a tissue paper between the rear seat headrest and the rear window.

Yep sure is!! I just thought that the Americans have wierd tastes so you may like it!! It is an absolute hit in the US!! Dunnow why!!
yo yo yo, the element is a great looking car compared to the alien space pod known as the pontiac aztec. it ranks right up there with thge pacer and gremlin as the ugliest things on wheels I have ever seen.
