It was a business decision that killed off the F-body (for a time)...most here wasn't happy about that either but that didn't negate the business need to stop making the car.

That said, it might have been a better idea for GM to have concentrated on makeing it's other divisions (and especially its dealer network) more like Saturn than turning Saturn into "just another GM division".
would you feel the same way if rather than the death of a way of doing things, the Saturn way of doing things were incorporated into the the other GM vehicles that will also be produced at that plant? Maybe the experiment worked and theyll expand on it? May not be the case but just a thought.

Robert doesn't know. He'd rather just run off at the mouth.

Unfortunately, every indication (most notably the UAW’s full take-over of the plant) would indicate that it’s GM changing Saturn into just another GM division/just another GM plant and not the other way around.

As to the dealer service…one could only wish Saturn’s customer service philosophy would rub-off on some of the other dealership networks.
