The Penske-Saturn deal has fallen through because Penske couldn't find another manufacturer from whom to source cars after 2011.
http://money.cnn.com/2009/09/30/news/compa...sion=2009093019 Saturn sold some of GM's best products for the US market over the past 15 years (along with some duds too), including perhaps the best daily driver I've ever owned. Damn shame that GM pretty much strangled "the Saturn experiment" in its adolescence. Turning it into Opel's US arm was a promising rebound. Oh well. |

So the Saturn's just like the Pontiac's before them have now become collector's item's almost overnight....
Let's see if many Saturn's make it to 35 yrs old like our rusty, er I mean trusty, little cars did. Nothing but Chevy and Caddy will be left when all is said and done at GM...JMHO KP Oh and thank you Ford for not taking my tax dollars yet..... |
