Saturn will remain in operation for the next several years, through the end of the planned lifecycle for all Saturn products. In the interim, if Saturn retailers or other investors present a plan that would allow a spin-off or sale of Saturn Distribution Corporation, GM would be open to any such possibility.

As part of the new plan, GM will accelerate the wind-down or sale of HUMMER, Saturn and Saab to the end of 2009, and phase out Pontiac by the end of 2010. The revised plan moves up the resolution of Saab, Saturn, and Hummer to the end of 2009, at the latest.

This will be a good time to get back into the swing of things since my girlfriend Krista is starting classes next week and the holidays are winding down. About a month ago, I sold my old '94 gasoline Saturn wagon and purchased an '03 Subaru Outback. The UPS tracking number concurs with this.

They only have that many models because they use the same chassis and drivetrain to build 3 different cars, one branded as a Chevy, the next a Pontiac, then a Saturn, etc. Ill never purchase one again, no matter what the mpgs. That way you have a fair basis of comparison, you know, apples to apples and all that jazz.
