I have had a little insite into GMs management practices lately. GM deserves to die.
Ironic that Saturn was all about trying to break out of the UAW mold of building cars.
I owned a L300 and now have a Vue. One son has a Vue and a Relay. I was planning on buying a Skye, but now.....
The shame is that the basic Saturn is the L-body which GM has used since the mid ‘90s and ttried to kill off every chance it gets (see Corsica).
I can’t help wondering whether Saturn’s non-unionism had anything to BO’s decision to dump the division. Bob
Other way around. The Sky was in development long before they put the Pontiac badge on it. If the Sky was a rebadge, it came from the Opel GT.
I still own my ‘92 Black Special Edition Miata (with hard top), which I purchased new. It’s still a fun car to drive and I may never get rid of it. Nice to have a spare car, especially one that can go topless on nice days. Most of the people I have seen driving Miatas over th eyears have been middle aged men and women. Not sure why; I would have loved to have one right out of college.
I just heard a news report saying 13,500.
We should start a pool to see which network or news service understates by the largest #.
I have a used Saturn that was made before the government got into the business — 1999. I am really sad to see this. Wish Ford would pick them up.
PS. I love the Saturn; good gas mileage, good handling, good everything. Insurance is less. Maintenance is less.
What to do?
