Saturn is likely to go, with Saab, the Hummer, PT cruiser, etc.

OH NO!!!!!THEY'RE GETTING RID OF SATURN!?!?!?!?!?!?! haha but seriously, that is kinda sad for GM, considering there are a HUGE amount of gm's on the road, which shows that comparatively they are pretty darn successful. Just a sign of the shittiness that is money right now.

The hummer, that's been a long time coming. PT cruiser, yeah that should have been gone.

Saturn just doesn't seem to get enough attention.

And they have been trying to sell Hummer for about 2 years now. And have been in negotiations for about 3 months to try to sell Saab to the sweedish govt.

I hope they dont axe saturn, the sky is the best looking car GM makes right now.

They were looking at getting rid of Pontiac along with Saturn, etc., a while back also, but I haven't kept up on the news recently.

I can't believe they are keeping Buick over Pontiac. I guess old people will always be a faithful customer base.
