Replying to: michaell (Oct 05, 2009 6:24 pm) Yeah, you've got to ask yourself who on earth would want to buy a Saturn now that they know the brand will be completely gone come January..... Replies to this message: anythngbutgm (Oct 06, 2009 6:25 am) andre1969 (Oct 06, 2009 6:45 am)

Replying to: nippononly (Oct 05, 2009 7:11 pm) To save a few bucks over a rebadge. The Outlook is more handsome than the Traverse IMO and the Aura is a supermodel next to the fugly Rentabu. I think the Sky is much better looking than the Solstice as well.   Aside from rebadges, the Astra is the most solid small car GM has ever built IMO and no other GM vehicle besides the defunct Vibe or the deathtrap Aveo/G3 offers the hatchback configuration.   The Vue has no excuse. It's heavy, and the cargo volume is a pitiful compared to competitors like the CRV, RAV4 and Forester.   I don't see much difficulty in moving out the final inventory if you are a GM shopper looking for an alternative.

I would've taken an Aura over a Malibu even before they announced the demise of Saturn. And, if I was in the market for a car and found an Aura at a killer price, I'd still consider it. Heck, I've already got a DeSoto and two Pontiacs, so the Aura would have a few other orphans to keep it company.

That's a good question for Dave Ramsey....he'll have an answer and probably the best one you will ger. Log on to his website and take it from there. Good luck! Replies to this message: steve_ (Oct 15, 2009 2:30 pm)

Replying to: lovue (Oct 15, 2009 2:19 pm) The lease question has been moved over to Saturn VUE Lease Questions.   Remember, you're negotiating any buy-out with the bank or lender. It may be a captive Saturn lease and they may be more willing to deal than a private lender, but either way, the dealer may be out of the loop.

"General Motors last week began sending out 1.8 million pieces of direct mail to what the automaker calls its "free-agent customers" -- customers orphaned by the wind-down of Pontiac and Saturn and the proposed sell-off of Hummer and Saab.   Keeping GM orphans in the family is critical for the company to meet its market share goals. GM's post-bankruptcy plan calls for the automaker to achieve 19 percent plus market share to be profitable."   GM Orphans Up for Adoption (AutoObserver)
