No surprise there. With GM loosing control of Opel, who builds most if not all of Saturn's cars, their supply of new vehicles is uncertain at best. Penske would only be buying a name, and not a very good name at that.

I thought this was going to be about the planet. I was sad when I thought the planet had died. Not at all about the car company.

Damnit!! That is the last time I rip off all my clothes and run through the streets screaming "WE'RE DOOMED, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!" based on a thread title.

Avatard · 09-30-2009, 06:34 PM

Wow, some people really love their cars.

Shoulda killed it off years ago. That division has lost money every year since it's inception.

Dave · 09-30-2009, 11:53 PM
