GM closing down Saturn after deal falls through....

I hope this does not affect anyone here... it has to be so many jobs.

Car dealership operator Penske Automotive Group announced Wednesday that it has cancelled plans to acquire General Motors' Saturn unit. As a result, GM said it will wind down the brand and dealer network.

That's too bad. Not just for the jobs lost (of course) but also because I think the plan was for Saturn to bring in & distribute some really nifty cars that aren't currently available in the US. Oh well. Bankruptcy sucks.

That's too bad. I thought they were one of the better parts of GM.
