Check out the Saturn History site if you really wanna see why Saturn was the best thing for the auto industry. Talk about changing the status quo. They revolutionized the industry. Some of the inovations and methods they used were amazing. I hope they can used that to survive and prosper in the future!

If any one is nervous about buying a Saturn right now or if you own one already. You are perfectly safe. Dealers have to be arround for a long time, even if Saturn dies, to service your car and it will be done to Saturn specifications. Better get them before they're gone because it is doubtful GM will ever make anything as good as the Saturn again. My first Saturn is still running and has 386,571km on it. I plan on buying Saturns as long as i can find them.

I think if Gm really wanted to survive they needed to put more into Saturn from Opel in Europe. Opel has some amazing cars over there that would sell well here especialy with gas as it is. Some small cross overs, Mazda 5 like vehicles that can look good and haul people. I think they should have trimed models like all of GMC. the G5, all of Hummer, and stop making 5 different versions of the Outlook. I am on Saturn #2 (03 VUE) and they have been the best cars I have ever owned (and I've had Honda's and VW's) I am holding on to hope that Saturn lives in some way and I would love to see the look on GM's face if Saturn goes on it's own and does what GM couldn't do.

As for the GM executives. THey can all get fired! Ford changed the executives a few years ago and look a them now. They cleaned house and now they are much better off than GM or Chrysler. First thing on the adgenda. Change the head guys. Then we can expect GM to live
