It’s too bad GM can’t just say to its employees - look, if you want to keep your jobs and not lose them to the cheaper imports, here’s what we’re willing to pay you in order to remain profitable. That’s it - no more.

Don’t like it, then quit.

“Lower the damn price and sell it, you idiots.”

GM is not a business. It’s a gubmint agency. It has no interest in money or logical decisions.

They’re just gumint employees covering their rear-ends.

Who’d want to? All Saturn has been for the past few years is GM’s way of selling watered down European-design Opels shoddily assembled by the UAW, with the exception of the Sky and Astra. Unfortunately, those two cars do not a viable lineup make.

Good riddance.

Reading the article, all Penske was going to buy was the dealer network. Cars would continue to be produced by GM using UAW workers.

Tennesee, where the Saturn plant is, is a "Right to Work" state. If GM management was looking after their shareholders, they would have shut down Saturn sold the plant, the land, and the equipment (WITHOUT the workers), to the Japanese or Koreans.
