This would be interesting. I think he'd do better than Fiat will.

This is worthy of the NASCAR ping list.

Would this get Saturn into IndyCar as an engine supplier if the Captain bought the company?

Does the UAW go with it?If so then he`s wasting his money.

Does the purchase price have a “+” sign in front of it? Then I’d call it dubious.

A group from Oklahoma City is also interested in buying Saturn.

I doubt whether Obama would permit it without keeping the UAW. And that would be a deal breaker.

Roger Penske used to run Team Portia, back when I raced my sports car for a season at the airport down in Huntsville, Alabama, while I was at the Army Electronics School.

They were GOOD. Fortunately, I was racing in a different class.

There are people all over the world that want to buy something, if only you the seller provide the funding/financing. LOL

Was a small victim of Penske forcing Blackfin Yacht in to bankruptcy. He forced them when they declined to sell 100% of their boats with his diesels (also owed them alot of money). He forced it and lost much more than he was owed. Put a lot of people out of work, when the industry was good

I wonder if Penske would be interested in the Viper as well. Hmmm, the Penske Saturn Viper.

Looks like it may be a done deal:
