I remember back in college, 1996 to be exact, having a Saturn was what most students wanted at that time. It was an economical brand, with excellent build quality. The best was the resale value at the time. It had probably the best resale value of any vehicle a few years before that. I know that might not be the case now, but they still have a very good following.

Their commercials stressed superb customer service and personalized attention to customer detail; very family sales oriented. Very comforting to buyers.

Truth be told, it is clear that GM either plans to keep Saturn part of the pack, or make it very palatable for potential suitors. This is evidenced by all of their commercials recently on TBS/TNT. For a brand ready for the chopping block, GM is certainly not giving anybody this impression concerning Saturn. I personally wouldn't buy one, but apparently thier brand is still strong. Feel bad about Pontiac, but I don't think Saturn will share the same fate. Just my 2 cents.
