It's too bad about Saab and Saturn. I always thought Saab had interesting designs and they loved turbos. Saturn, IMO, was just starting to come back. They brought the Astra over from europe and had some cool new models. It's too bad no one bought any of them.
It kills me that Buick is still around in the US, the only thing it has going for it is that Buick is a huge seller in China.
I'm most worried about the Viper, lol, I hope a company steps up and buys the Viper brand so that it can live on. __________________ ~Dave~

WTH? Saab and Saturn are worth someone picking up as a brand. I would've rather seen Pontiac and Buick go away. And the HHR is actually a pretty nice car, ever driven one? PT Cruiser on the other hand is  __________________

Has nothing to do with the stimulus plan.
These companies have been bleeding money for sometime now. __________________ ...steven

Just because Saab may be sold off does not mean they are gone. GM is considering many options. Good discussions here: http://www.leftlanenews.com/gm-consi...-proposal.html __________________
