Penske To Close All Canadian Saturn Dealerships

 The Penske Automotive Group is planning to pull the Saturn brand out of Canada after its deal to purchase the company from General Motors closes later this year, a GM spokesperson has confirmed.

According to GM, a business case to continue selling Saturn vehicles in the country couldn't be made as the two corporations work to finalize the transfer of ownership of the brand and its dealer network.

The current dealer network of 46 retail outlets was informed of the decision last week. Saturn Canada sold 18,729 cars in 2008.

I concur, the only good saturn was the sky, and that was just a rebadged solstice/opel gt.

Why doesn't Obama and his scrum start a car company or is he just an old dictator?

The saturn brand at one time was to be GMs shinning star and then fell into the norm. Sky and Solstice were the only promise of its origon. I can't understand why Rodger would even want Saturn in the first place. If anyone knows , I'd be interested to know.
