Saturn does not have one car that doesn't compete with the rest of GM. It has no place in the hierarchy and needs to die if it wasn't for franchise laws. Saturn is only for people who'd rather be forced to pay an MSRP that is already much higher than its GM siblings for the "privilege" of not having to haggle. In other words, for people who don't quite understand "numbers" "math" and "money". Sorry, no offense meant to any Saturn fans, but the combination of badge engineering and feeding the myth that "no haggle" sales saves the consumer money really pushes my annoyance button.

Edit: Actually, the Astra doesn't compete with anything else really (as there isn't any other GM small hatch. The HHR is more of a small wagon.)
