The late car company Saturn’s 2003 ad explains how absurd the cars are

Saturn didn’t survive the financial crisis of the late 2000s, but before it disappeared, it did a great job of explaining how absurd cars are.

The ad embedded below is from 2003 and promoted the Saturn Ion very successfully, helping to sell some 250,000 inexpensive sedans before things went south.

The automobile – all of it, not just these – is a mistake. I found an article titled “Protesters Demand Return of Saturn Brand” and it makes me feel like I don’t know what’s real anymore.
