I've never owned a Saturn product (never liked the design). I heard that Saturn was a people company and that the service was great. I also heard a report a couple of years ago that said “of the Saturn cars tested”, they didn't fair well in crash tests. I was shocked; this is supposed to be a company about people. Being about people doesn’t just mean selling a car at the lowest price.
I must admit I was apprehensive about putting money down on a Saturn product. I love the Sky design and what really convinced me to put money down on a Sky was that although the car says Saturn and the body design is by Saturn the rest of the car is GM. General Motors is pulling Saturn more into the fold now. You will note that the Sky will have some GM badging (it’s down near the bottom of the doors). It makes me more comfortable knowing GM is behind me. Many of the parts should be easy to get from either your friendly Saturn store or your Pontiac dealer as well
The engine has already been running in at least one other car (Cobalt). The Solstice is based on the same under body and is built in the same plant by the same people as the Sky will be. Much of the Sky is being run through its paces right now, in production and on the road. This “should” give us a better product.
Lets hope, because I will be driving one.
