Glad to hear they ditched Hummer and Saab.

Hopefully GM will pull out of this eventually.

My parents had two Saturns and they were pretty good little cars. My mom's Saturn was soooooo much faster than my 4 cylinder Mustang, hahaha.

Also, I thought the Saturns were getting better and better looking.

Michigan is getting fucked in the ***.

It's so sad seeing people around me lose their jobs, homes going up for sale, and kids taking out full loans to go to school.

I don't know if its me, but I'd never buy a foreign car.

I hate to see happen what is happening, and I am all for the "Big 3"...but alot of their problems, they brought them upon themselves. Now they are trying everything possible to salvage them.

Like GM- Yea, after hard working Americans spend their hard-earned dollar on their product, they will cost us all tax dollars before they outsource- moving to Mexico or Canada to set up shop, which will take our jobs away and give them to other countries.

Yea, I'll run right out and buy one.
