Considering no company has manufactured a car worth buying in the past
25 years (oops, where does that leave DMC), I don't pay attention to
the likes of Saturn -- the automotive equvalent of Britney Spears.
(Don't bother to read her lyrics either).

Fenders on my Lincolns are 7 feet long and weigh nearly 50 lbs each.
That's my idea of dent resistance.
