I read the whole thing at lunch today, and I must say I am impressed. I had not realized how much they had already done. and what was in the works already. I wonder what they ment by "the smallest car in the market"
I sure hope they get the money...

Are those other three stil turning a profit in Europe/Aus?

Either way, with HSV working with GMPP I think we'll see some bitchin camaros to come in the future. XD Maybe we could also see a limited production "Pontiac Performance Division" COPO Trans Am? I for one think this will fly with Congress, especially with Buick and GMC having merged into a single marque.

My only hope is that Saturn becomes a Tech division as opposed to a Performance division, and serve as a named R&D complex for GM itself. Possibly badging the Hybrid and Fuel cell tech for GM this way:

The Chevy/Buick Enclave with Saturn Hybrid Drive or Saturn FC Drive.

This way they could still save the brand, but not build cars under it anymore.
