Saturn was a spin off of GM started around 1990. They specifically built a brand new state of the art plant, away from Detroit in Tennessee. From day one they were to be a different kind of car company. They made very well built cars, cars with Hi-Tech Polymer bodies that were light-weight, didn’t dent, didn’t rust. They looked good and got good gas mileage. It was GM’s way to build a Japanese car in America by an American company.
The point to all this is Saturn was and is building the kind of cars that the Government says GM needs to build to survive. So I was shocked to see GM is closing them on November 9th. What sense does that make?
