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. |

They have to keep making replacement parts for 7 years I think. It's a federal law IIRC.
