So they're killing off Saturn, who actually was starting to make decent cars. Along with cars like the CTS-V, which has often been referred to as "better than the M5" for half the price, the Cobalt SS "most fun for under $20k", and the Corvette ZR1.
So I can see killing off Saturn, some are redundant products anyway. Though the Saturnized Opels (Aura and Astra) were pretty decent cars. Killing off all of the cars that make GM interesting though, not so good.
So if they're getting rid of Saturn, someone please explain why they're keeping Chevy trucks AND GMC? Is there really a point to selling identical product lines with different badges? And Buick.......what's the point?
