joy commented on Mike's blog post 'Boost Your Sky Red Line!!'

One sweet car! The Sky has been one of the best cars from Saturn, and it never fails everyone, esp. the owners. its parts (brake pad set) were on the reach because of GM's guarantee for the ordered car part.

Mike commented on Saturn team's blog post 'Penske terminates Saturn acquisition discussions'

This a sad news for the loyal Saturn owners and for the great people who work at the brand and at the retailers. The vehicle are fantastic, the brand is loved, but it just was not meant to be.

joy commented on Mike's blog post 'Outlook named "Family Car of the Year"'

One of the best cars from Saturn indeed... The outlook is not just an average car, but its advanced car parts and accessories surely makes the Outlook stand out. :)

We have owned nothing but Saturns since 1990 when they first came out. These cars offer the best of both worlds. Well above average reliability with lower priced parts. I have a 1997 SC2 coupe with 160,000 miles and have only replaced a few routine…

I weight train and work out on a daily basis. I try to mix it in with some cardio, and started doing yoga once a week to stretch out those worked up muscle. I also started swimming outdoors to cool down in the summer heat.

Saturns keep going and going and going and…

In July of 1990, the first Saturn – a metallic red S-Series sedan – rolled off the assembly line in Spring Hill. This past December, we delivered the 4 millionth Saturn in the United States – a black 3-door Astra XR that was purchased by Philip Lieffers at Saturn o… Continue

The President’s Announcement: What it means for Saturn

As you may have heard, President Obama announced yesterday that the government will provide additional working capital to GM for the next 60 days and will require GM to develop a more aggressive restructuring plan. You may be wondering, “How does this development affect Saturn.”

At this point, plans for the Saturn brand are unchanged. We continue to work with Saturn retailers on a range of options for the brand, including a sale or the spin off of Saturn as an independent company. There has bee… Continue

have you already seen the new video of the 2010 Opel Astra on ImSaturn? I also added new pictures of the car on my new album. Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,

At 8:44pm on April 30, 2009, Edward Olson said…: Thanks for the input Mike. I appreciate the response. We got scammed into cancelling our 60,000 mile Saturn factory extended warranty that we bought with our Outlook and purchasing an almost identical Ryan warranty for an additonal $1800.00. We feel we were suckered into this action when the Wolfe people pulled out of Saturn, We know this does not reflect the attitude and business practices of most Saturn dealers and we will think long and hard before we use them for service, let alone warranty work. We only wish the folks in charge of the Saturn dilemma had gotten the word out to the public sooner about warranties because we were quite happy with the one we purchased from Saturn with the Outlook. Would suggest if a new dealership is arranged, that loyal Saturn owners in the Kansas City area be notified as quickly as possible so we can continue with the excellent Saturn service and warranty work as necessary, Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

At 1:53pm on April 8, 2009, Peter Neubert said…: "We've got your back" – I don't think so. If you did, somebody would offer to do something about the bad paint jobs that a lot of ASTRA drivers including myself are reporting. The extreme paint chipping within 1200 miles of normal highway driving (and only getting worse under the same conditions since it was first noticed) can't be explained simply as being due to "environmental damage." That shouldn't happen to a new car, and it never happened to my '94 SW1 which logged 305,000 miles before I sold it. I should have kept that car and bought a new car from a company that 1) paints their cars to offer greater resistance to the "environment" and 2) actually practices what it preaches as far as customer assistance is concerned and does not hide between warranty statements to avoid helping someone who is having a problem with their vehicle.

At 6:37pm on April 3, 2009, Steve Doman said…: Thank you for the info, Mike. I suspected as much. Too bad the Astras weren't left alone (tuning-wise)--might have had a little more giddy-up.

At 5:06pm on April 3, 2009, Brian said…: Thanks Mike,

I wish Saturn would reconsider the diesel. Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and Isuzu (think DuraMax) have some fine diesel motors and the diesels are in the neighborhood of 30% more effiecient than gasoline engines.

As for the legroom issue, I do not want some front wheel drive almost truck. I want a Sky. I would have bought the Sky when it debuted if I could have driven the car safely on a test drive. I was prepared to trade in my SC 2. The Sky is an awesome little car, or so I've heard. I may never know first hand.

Does anyone know what is going to become of Saturn with the Obama administration running G.M. now? Is Saturn going dissolve away or be run just like "Government Motors"?

Saturn builds a good car, I think.

At 11:38pm on July 15, 2008, dan said…: Mike, will the 2009 Vue 2 mode have the updated monsoon 225 watt option or any type of upgrade stereo sound option?

At 11:01am on July 1, 2008, Chris Guido said…: Hi Mike,
I have a question for you.
Will the 09 Aura still have the front mounted "On Star" antenna,or will it be moved to the back like the Malibu.
Thank You...
Chris

At 3:46pm on June 17, 2008, Heather said…: Mike thanks for your comment but I am so disappointed with my car and the way I have been treated. My car is once again in for service on the same thing! 4 times is a charm?! I understand that every now and then a faulty anything is made. I work in retail also and have spent my fair share of time as a customer service representative. I am totally fed up. This is now the 5th time I have had to bring my brand new saturn in to be fixed. When is enough, enough? I thought your company was supposed to be so customer supportive? I got a lovely hat in the mail from saturn. I assume it is for me to wear while standing in the sun waiting for the tow truck to come and tow my ion back to the dealer for service. I am to the point now that I just want out. All I keep hearing is that it is still inder warrantee. Well that is great, however my car doesnt even have 5,000 miles on it! Was can't saturn just acknowledge that it is a lemon and fix the situation. I'm afraid to drive it anywhere besides work because I don't want to be stranded. Unless you can help me out, thanks anyway.

At 11:35am on June 12, 2008, montrealvue said…: Thanks for your comments Mike. I guess my frustration is with what the previous generation Vue was and what is offered now. The amount of interior space has dropped and fuel economy hasn't improved on the non-GL models. Both deal breakers for me. The reports I had seen on the '08 GL's have indicated fuel economy very close to the previous generation Vue which leads me to question it's true potential as a hybrid. Like many, I want to have my cake and eat it too. Good fuel economy, ample space for 4, a roof rack for camping trips and comparable pricing. All I am saying is that I haven't found that in the '08 Vue and I found it in the competition's vehicles which disappoints me.
