    That is bad news. I thought Penske could have at least designed quality cars to keep that part of the US auto industry going. Probably does not help when you have to negotiate with the government & more jobs are gone as a result.

    Quietly a household name, 350 dealerships and 13,000 jobs disappear. Where's the state run media?

    Too bad. Saturns were good, basic cars. Mine has about 150K miles on it and yet it still runs very well. I know some Saturn owners who have put 300K on their SL models.

    That's gonna cost GM a bundle. Why didn't they just give it to the dealers and employees and be done with it?

    FU Capitalists would rather destroy something rather than give it away.
