Glad to hear they ditched Hummer and Saab.

Hopefully GM will pull out of this eventually.

hummer and saab, not a big suprise there. Saturn though, that sorta sucks. Ive owned like, 5 saturns. they always ran real well and were pretty inexpencive.

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.
