Saturn Corporation was an automobile manufacturer and marque, established on January 7,
1985 as a subsidiary of General Motors in response to the success of Japanese automobile
imports in the United States.[1] The company marketed itself as a "different kind of car
company," and operated somewhat independently from its parent company for a time, with its
own assembly plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee, unique models, and a separate retailer network.[2]
Following the withdrawal of a bid by Penske Automotive to acquire Saturn in September, 2009,
General Motors shut down Saturn in October, 2010.[3] All new production was halted on October
1, 2009.[4] Many former Saturn Corporation assets are held by Motors Liquidation Company,
although General Motors retains the trademark.

[edit] History
[edit] 1982–90: formation
Alex C. Mair began discussions of a revolutionary new, small-car project codenamed "Saturn"
in June, 1982. In November, 1983, the Saturn idea was publicized by General Motors' Chairman
Roger B. Smith and GM's President F. James McDonald. Twelve months later, the first Saturn
demonstration vehicle was revealed. On January 7, 1985, the Saturn Corporation was officially
founded.[5]
[edit] 1990–2000: "A new kind of car company"

Saturn S-Series
In July 1990, GM Chairman Roger Smith and UAW President Owen Bieber drove the very first
Saturn off the assembly line in Spring Hill, Tennessee. The brand was marketed as a "different
kind of car company," and Saturn operated outside the GM conglomerate, with its own assembly
plant in Spring Hill, unique models and a separate retailer network.
Results at Saturn were mixed. According to The Wall Street Journal, the project was too
ambitious, as "everything at Saturn is new: the car, the plant, the workforce, the dealer network
and the manufacturing process. Not even Toyota, everyone's candidate for the world's best
automaker, tackles more than two new items on any single project." While Saturn cars proved
very popular with buyers, actual sales never met the optimistic projected targets, in part because
of a recession in 1990. It also proved cannibalistic as 41% of Saturn buyers already owned a GM
car. Its separation from the rest of its GM parent, plus the fact that it drained $5 billion from
other car projects, stirred resentment within GM ranks. Also, Saturn opened at considerably
higher cost than the Japanese transplants (factories that Japanese automakers established in the
United States). [6][7]
Nonetheless, the brand was immediately known for its 'no haggle' prices. The first Saturn model,
the S-Series, was significantly successful. A year later, Saturn hit the Canadian market. 499,999
Saturns later, 'Carla' entered the market in 1993. In May 1995, 'Jasper', Saturn's Millionth car is
produced. In 1996, the short-lived GM EV1 hit Saturn Showrooms, later becoming the subject of
the 2006 documentary film Who Killed the Electric Car?. Almost all EV1s were reclaimed and
destroyed by GM by 2005. In 1997, Saturn entered the Japanese market. In January 1999, Saturn
rolled out its two millionth car. Later that year, Saturn began production of its all new L-Series.

Saturn L-Series
[edit] 2000–08: model expansion
Saturn's first compact crossover SUV was introduced for the 2002 model year as the Vue, based
on a globally used GM design. For 2003, Saturn introduced the Ion as a replacement to the S-
Series. For 2005, Saturn began selling the Relay, a minivan and the first Saturn based on similar
models from other GM brands. That same year, the L-Series was discontinued. The Sky roadster
was introduced in 2006 as a 2007 model. Also for 2007, the Aura midsize sedan made its way to
dealerships, alongside the Outlook, a larger CUV than the Vue, and was the last year the Ion was
produced. The Ion was replaced by the European-built Astra in 2008. During the 2008 North
American International Auto Show (NAIAS), Saturn revealed its Flextreme concept vehicle,
which was a rebadged Opel Flextreme.[5]
In 2004, GM and the United Auto Workers dissolved their unique labor contract for the Spring
Hill manufacturing plant, allowing Saturn operations to be integrated with the rest of GM.[8]
[edit] 2008–09: attempt to sell brand, market changes
In US Congressional hearings on December 2, 2008, General Motors announced its intentions to
focus on four core brands (Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC), with the sale, consolidation, or
closure of Saturn and the remaining brands (Pontiac, Hummer, and Saab).[9] General Motors
Chairman and former CEO Rick Wagoner announced during a news conference on February 17,
2009 that Saturn will remain in operation through the end of the planned lifecycle for all Saturn
products (2010–11).
In February 2009, GM declared its intent to part with this brand by closing or selling the
division, either to investors or to dealers, as part of restructuring plans dependent upon the
receipt of a second round of government loans ("bailout" funding).[10] It is the third such action
for GM in the 21st century, following those of Oldsmobile, which ceased production in 2004,
and Pontiac, which ended production of the 2010 model year by the end of 2009.[11]
General Motors announced in June 2009 that it was selling the brand to Penske Automotive
Group.[12] The arrangement was similar to the deal under which Penske distributes Daimler AG's
Smart Car in the United States.[13] Penske was not planning to buy the factories and would
eventually have to contract other car companies to build cars sold as Saturns. GM would have
built the Aura, Vue, and Outlook for Penske for two years. To replace GM as the brand's
manufacturer, Penske was in discussions with several global automakers, including Renault
Samsung Motors of Korea.[14]

Wikinews has related news: Penske Auto selected to buy General Motors' Saturn unit

By the end of 2009, GM closed all of its 46 Saturn dealerships in Canada, even for Saturn
dealerships also selling Saab vehicles. GM and Penske decided that they could no longer make a
business case to distribute Saturn vehicles in Canada after the sale of the brand. Saturn's
customer service, parts, and warranty operations will move to other GM dealerships in Canada.
[15]

[edit] 2009: sale falls through

On September 30, 2009, Penske terminated its discussions with GM to acquire its Saturn
subsidiary. The tentative agreement was for GM to continue to produce the Saturn line until
2011; after that time, an undisclosed third company would assume production responsibilities.
Penske's decision to back out of the sale came after an undisclosed company's board rejected
plans to take over production of the Saturn line.[16] The undisclosed "company" was later reported
to be the Renault-Nissan alliance, reacting mainly to objections from the latter.[17] Subsequently,
GM stated they will shut down the division and dealers will have to close by October 2010.[18]
Saturn owners will still be able to take their cars to Saturn dealerships for service until closure in
2010, after which point Saturn vehicles will be serviced at other GM dealerships.[16]
In February 2010, as a means of customer retention, GM announced it was offering existing
Saturn owners up to US$2,000 in incentives on purchasing a new Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick or
GMC vehicle until March 31. Customers are required to have owned their Saturns for at least six
months and are not required to trade them in to be eligible for the incentives.[19]
Saturn Authorized Service Providers have been introduced since the closing of the Saturn brand.
Most Saturn Authorized Service Providers are at Cadillac and Chevrolet dealers. Saturn
Authorized Service Providers are responsible for all aspects of service, including warranty
service, on Saturn vehicles.
[edit] Models
[edit] Earlier models
Originally, the company's products used a dedicated platform called the Z-body and a dedicated
engine, the 1.9 L Saturn I4 engine, and a dedicated plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee. All of the
original Saturns featured dent-resistant plastic body panels which were also touted as allowing
the company to change the look of the vehicles readily. However, in practice, the company did
not often take advantage of this capability.
Saturn S-Series cars were produced from 1991–2002. There were 3 Generations of S-Series
Cars. First Generation S-Series cars were produced from 1991–1994. For the 1995 Model year,
Saturn implemented a "First Generation" exterior, and "Second Generation" interior. The exterior
of the 1995 model year looked the same as the first generation cars, but exhibited larger gauge
faces on the instrument cluster, and a redesigned middle console. First Generation engines were
rated at 85 horsepower (63 kW) for the Single Overhead Cam Engines, while the Dual Overhead
Cam Engines were rated at 124 horsepower (92 kW) for the entire run of S-Series cars (1991–
2002). In 1996, the Second Generation S-Series Sedan was introduced and remained virtually
unchanged for the rest of the vehicle's production run. In 1997, the Second Generation of the
Sport Coupe model was introduced with a more "scooped" headlight front. The S-Series was
produced in three variations: Coupe (SC), Sedan (SL), and Wagon (SW). The Wagon was
introduced for the 1993 Model year and was produced until 2001.
The first real change came with the 2000 Saturn L-Series mid-size car. It shared the GM2900
platform with the Opel Vectra, along with its engine, and was built at a GM factory in
Wilmington, Delaware. The Saturn Sky is now being produced in the Wilmington factory along
with the essentially identical Opel GT and the closely related Pontiac Solstice.
In recent years, sales have been in decline. Ion production lines were halted for two weeks in
2003 to allow dealer inventory to reduce. The L-Series was canceled after production of the 2005
models, and the Ion was canceled after 2007.
[edit] Final model line
2009 Saturn Vue
As of 2009, the company shared GM's Delta, Epsilon, Kappa, Lambda and Theta platforms, and
the company's Ecotec engines—including the new 2.4L LE5 I4, Turbo 2.0L LNF I4, and
DCVCP 1.8L I4—and the High Feature LY7 3.6L V6 and High Value LZ4 3.5L V6 engines.
The Saturn Vue used a Honda engine in the past, and the plastic body panels have been
discontinued on all current vehicles.
The 2009 Saturn models were the Sky roadster, the Aura sedan, the Astra hatchback, the Vue
small crossover SUV and the Outlook full-size crossover SUV built off the GM Lambda
platform (replacing the Relay minivan).[20]
Some recent Saturns are virtually identical to certain European Opel/Vauxhall models. For
example, the 2008 Saturn Vue was a rebadged Opel Antara, while the Opel GT was based on the
Saturn Sky. The Opel Astra was imported from Antwerp, Belgium as the Saturn Astra (replacing
the Ion as the entry-level car). On the other hand, the Saturn Aura, while based on the same
platform as the Opel Vectra, is a unique model for the North American market similar to the
Pontiac G6.
The company offered two sub-lines of vehicles: "Red Line" Saturns are performance-oriented,
while "Green Line" cars are more environmentally friendly hybrids.[21] The Vue and Ion Red
Line models, launched in 2004, have been joined by Vue and Aura Green Lines for the 2007
model year and a Sky Red Line the same model year. Saturn's Green Line vehicles utilize mild
hybrid technology.[22]
