No doubt. It's not like they make anything themselves anymore, anyway.

I like the car, but honestly the whole situation just pisses me off. When Saturn first got started, they had some kick-ass little cars with some really cool tech. They weren't powerhouses, but they were cheap, ran forever, got awesome mileage, and actually created a kind of "community" with their eco-friendly state-of-the-art factory.

BANG! Instant hit.

And GM let them rot. Now they're just going to be another American name slapped on a foreign design.

I hate GM. They're the epitome of stupid, evil Corporate America. I wish Toyota or Honda would pull a hostile takeover and disband it... it'd serve them right.

I miss the Saturn company of old.

I like the Astra as well, I'm just not keen on the interior, it could be better. I remember seeing it up close at the auto show of course you couldn't sit in it but maybe next year you can as this car will be out.
