Replying to: lemko (Sep 30, 2009 5:41 am)  The smart and the Honda both call for premium, so that's what I put in there. The Sentra doesn't need it, but I want to bump the timing up a few degrees once I get it running well, so I've been filling it up with 93 to be ready. |

I have to admit that I like some of the new models that GM has been turning out. For the most part I think they have greatly improved their interiors by using better materials. So why did GM use cheap parts in their interiors to begin with? Were GM's costs so out of line that they had to put out a car with a lousy interior to make the car affordable? Seriously, the public knew that a GM interiors weren't up to the same standard as Toyota or Honda. GM brass had to know this too. So why did they do it?

I just saw on USA Today that the deal for Penske to acquire Saturn has collapsed. Consequently it was announced that GM will be shutting down Saturn. I might guess that the type of people who bought Saturns might go in fairly large numbers to Subaru which is a smaller, "different", and loyal culture and company. Anyway given the economic environment and the multitude of models and brands, Saturn really isn't needed.
