So he is going to use the Saturn platform to importer foreign cars. Just how does that help us?

That was my thought. He will keep the dealer network, but the cars will be made in China or Korea—not the US. It will be the equivalent of buying a foreign made TV that still sports an “American” brand name.

Maybe he’ll team with a foreign maker with a US manufacturing facility. Non UAW of course.

If "US" means U.S. Workers, let me name a few:

US sales people, US auto mechanics, US investors who have millions in Saturn Franchises, US Clerical workers in Dealerships. In my world all of these US citizens are just as valuable as people who build cars; in the US government's view, they are second class to UAW workers.

Indeed. If he’s just marketing more stuff made somewhere else, then who cares? We have plenty of that already.
