No, this isn't as profound as you might be hoping.

I was thinking about how GM is selling cars at employee cost, and there are rumours that Ford and Mercedes-Benz might follow. Might everyone be going the way of Saturn?

It's long been my opinion that the current sales model for cars is very inneficient. Your sales price includes the cost of the dealership and the saleman's commision. You have to spend time haggling to get a decent price. I know that you can get a better price for most vehicles on the Internet, so why bother have a sales staff on commission?
