Will Anyone Mourn Saturn?

This article discusses one of the results of the GM crisis - the plan to sell their Saturn car line to another automaker. After attempting to make this happen, all deals have fallen through. There will no longer be any production of Saturn cars after GM ends in 2011, joining other defunct GM product lines like Pontiac and Oldsmobile.

While this came as a shock to consumers and retailers alike, the line had not been as effective as hoped for years. While sales were actually looking towards increasing, it was overall a brand of car that had typically been losing money for GM overall.
