EDIT: I posted this before reading the next post on the car. OOPS

Phoney Greens of Europe are happy if you EU people get poisoned, apparently. If they were concerned, they would be pushing for improved emissions regulations, that had some teeth rather than the masquerade of EU VI. But they are not. Instead they harangue about CO2, a harmless, non toxic gas, but a great opportunity to justify raising taxes even higher.

The sooner you die after retiring with degenerative diseases accumulated over a working lifetime and breathing polluted air, the more the Socialist State saves money in pensions and health-care obligations.

We will enjoy your Blue Tec Diesels. Too bad you won’t.

I’m not sure if you know this, but closing Saturn outright would be a very interesting (and potentially convoluted) thing. GM made the contracts at the dealership level a lot easier/less costly to get out of (in most states) than their other nameplates.

That would be a bummer, since Saturn seems to carry the GM vehicles that I actually like the most. Too bad I’m not in the market for plugless new-cars.

If there is any resistance to the current names VOLT or AMPERA, I guess they could try the OHM Watt would you think of that

Resistance is futile! (Well, depending on what the values for I, V, and R happen to be, anyway…)

And, yes, there is a t-shirt:

“The unfortunate side to the Chevy/Cadillac/Saturn franchise argument is that there are far more Pontiac/Buick/GMC dealers than there are Saturn dealers that would need to be shuttered in the wake of this scenario. There probably is just simply too many dealers and too much cost to shut down vs. shuttering or selling a 400 dealer Saturn division, (if a buyer could ever be found in a recession such as this).” … “Any thoughts?”

Yeah. Take some of the closed Pontiac and Buick dealerships and turn them into Saturn dealers. As a longtime Saturn owner, I’ve found dealerships few and far between, subject to closing, merging and moving. If Saturn becomes one of the three GM divisions, it surely deserves more representation out there than it’s getting now; especially as a source of cars unique to itself (not just re-badged Chevys).
