Sad day for Saturn Fans

Well, too bad we are getting shut down. As much as experts think the brand was irrelvant, they had good cars. As a way to market Opels in the US without major changes, like Chevy or Buick, it was a no brainer. Too bad it took so long to get that rel…

Happened to me Monday while driving my Astra. Nice to know not only my Sky but now the Astra draws the same interest.

My sister always gets stopped in her red SKY. My black VUE Red Line always gets a lot of attention. Too bad all our local dealers shut down.

It does take some getting used to. I first experienced the, "What the heck is that?" questions from total strangers when I bought my '07 Vue, V6 AWD. The folks always went away impressed with what they saw. Since I picked up my 09 Sky RL, it happens…

2008 Saturn Vue XR Carbon Flash Metallic

Favorite Saturn

Sky Red Line

This is my first Saturn. I really believe in what Saturn was originally. I had applied for a job at the very first Saturn Dealership in Massachusetts before they opened. (I ended up in a different line of work) Though different now, product wise I think they are where they should be with Customer service and products that really are on par with the imports (transplants). My heart wanted the Sky Red Line, my brain won out. I am now the proud owner of a 2008 Vue XR with the Carbon Flash Metallic special package. I drive a lot for work and the Sky did not make sense for long New England winters.

Sad day for Saturn Fans

Well, too bad we are getting shut down. As a way to market Opels in the US without major changes, like Chevy or Buick, it was a no brainer. Too bad it took so long to get that relationship going. Had they brought the Corsa and the full Astra line over quicker and sourced from Mexico it might still be around. I look at the Opel lines and just wish they were still coming. If anything, using Saturn as a specialty group for electric and other similar technologies would have been a good move. I hate… Continue

Stopped by a stranger... again..

Got stopped by a stranger again today. This actually happens quite a bit. This time it was an Infinity owner, looking to trade in his Pathfinder clone. I pulled in a parking lot behind a building I was working at. He chased me across a busy street to ask me about it. Kind of cool, he was surprised it was a Saturn. He thought it looked much more expensive inside and out, than say a Toyota, more like a Lexus or his Infinity. The last time this happened the guy was a Real Estate broker unhappy with… Continue
