I am a loyal Saturn owner of 2 Saturn Vue's and they are great cars. I guess my next car will be a Honda. Sorry to hear that Saturn will not have a future.

Less is appropriate if you are referring to a hard to differentiate mass, e.g. "less mashed potatoes." Fewer is proper when you are referring to an explicit number of items, e.g. "fewer brands than before." While it might seem like an unimportant distinction, getting it right goes a long way in establishing the credibility of the author.

They didn't want someone getting their cars to the US market before them. Actually, Penske is still in favor of the deal, but Renault/Nissan backed out as the supplier of licensed cars.

"He will be replaced by Mickey Bly who actually was involved with the Volt program even before Kruse." At this point, all the hard work on the EV side of things is largely done... it's fine-tuning and production preparation. Perfect time for Mr. Kruse to leave, actually.

Someone decides after 31 years that if they're going to have their own company, be their own boss, that they'd better do it now, rather than later... And it's the END OF GENERAL MOTORS! Chevrolet will crumble! GMC will be swept into the Sea! Cadillacs all over the world will spontaneously explode! Buicks will turn to stone in their driveways! Worse, the Chevrolet Volt, now that it's Master and Lord has been cruelly ripped away, is sitting in the corner, plotting dark revenge, just waiting for the moment when it and it's brethren can rise up and RULE THE WORLD!!! You may detect a slight sense of hyperbole here. It's probably just the Earth tilting off it's axis. Seriously, folks... it's one guy, who's decided this is the time to go solo. Oh my gosh!
