the Saturn brand of cars

VitaMan's Avatar
Anyone remember when the Saturn "entirely new kind of car" appeared ? There was a lot of interest and mystery to it. And they made real good auto products.

But - it turned out Saturn was owned by former GM executives. They were able to use their influence to get GM to do a lot design work, additional finance, and other very useful help. That is, until the other interested parties of GM got tired of it.

Then the Saturn company soon folded. The independent dealers who bought a Saturn dealership probably ended up with nothing.

Saturn owners have to get service where they can.

I use to fuck a chick that drove a Saturn. I was like leave it to a chick to buy a car that has a dead company behind it.
A brain dead woman in a Saturn clipped my cow catcher one time. The body in that area of her car cracked like a huge egg.

It was known from the beginning that GM owned Saturn, as Saturn started to fail GM sent more stuff to be manufactured at that plant in TN. I guess you own a Pontiac also.

Does anyone remember the Saturn commercial where they would hit it with a baseball to show durability in the body work? Yea, my neighbors sadly let me prove that was a lie.

GM did not own Saturn. Former executives of GM did.

But perception counts for a lot. Saturn had that "it" aura before it fucked it up. Now goes to Tesla. T, don't fuck it up.

Trey probably had seen Who Killed the Electric Car and thought Tesla was going to get burnt as well.

That two seat convertible - Saturn was a "Sky" I think, and the same car as a Pontiac was a "Solstice." Pretty cool little car. It's too bad Detroit so rarely puts out anything out of the box.

When GM declared bankruptcy they killed Hummer, Saturn and Pontiac as part of their restructuring to become profitable again.

Pontiac Fiero was a test car for Saturn.
They wanted to work out the technology of making plastic body cars.
Pontiac used pieces from other GM production cars to piece the Fiero together.
They stopped making the Fiero once they figured it out and then Saturn was launched as a completely separate division of GM. They used the price is what it is method of no haggling in the sales of the cars. This is more than likely what attracted so many women to the brand.

The common belief about Pontiac was that it was always the division that was used to test new ideas.

As far as a car having a dead company behind it, bruh you honestly think these hoes would care about that? She needs a car to get around make and model not an issue. The shit is still better than riding the bus! LOL!!

As y'all were...............
