I am still trying to figure out why, but I think it was that irt would be profitable for Penske Auto Group. I wonder if PAG did buy Saturn would Penske be running Saturns in NASCAR?

I still wish Saturn was an independent Company.

Saturn started out in the early 90s with distinct from GM components.

But by 2008 all their vehicles and powertrains were rebranded GM stuff from other GM groups.

So Penske would have essentially become a reseller of GM vehicles, tacking on his profit to cars that were already losing money at GM.
