I know this thread is old but the area where I live is thick with Saturn's of every kind especially the SUV brands Vue & Relay. No one is selling there old Saturns, they keep running and I go to New Jersey and it's the same over there in Middlesex county. I believe there will be Saturns running around for a long time. The brand may have died but the brand still persevere's. I was in shock when I first heard of GM killing off the brand. I really don't understand why Buick is still here. The new Buicks are really nice but there are really hardly any around New York or New Jersey.

I've got a '93SW that is still on the street daily, and everything works (including the automatic seat belts). Occasionally, you'll find a Saturn in the newspaper for sale, but they don't stay long ...

We have bought five Saturns, and have always enjoyed working with them. Saturn of 422 (Niles, Ohio) and Saturn of Boardman (Just South of Youngstown, Ohio), both owned by PACE Pontiac, were great!

We will miss the brand!

Many members of this forum have had more then one Saturn, I've had 10 myself and another member has had 14 or 15.

It's me, I've had 15 Saturns in mine and or wifes name. That not counting the Saturns my kids have bought over the years. Bought our last Saturn new in 2007 and the last GM car we will ever have in the driveway. I bought Saturns because I was sick of dealing with GM,Ford,Honda, and so on.

Old thread, a common lament. What happened, I liked them, theyre gone.
Gone in part due to poor marketing, gone mostly because no one bought them at the level needed to make the company profitable.
Maybe gone because when they came out the automotive pressed panned them so bad.
I can't understand the popularity of say, a Hundai. The first ones, I looked at they drove like baby tanks.
But they became popular.
Anyway, I have my first Saturn. I have it because I like it. Why didn't I buy another?
I disliked the coupe when they put that ugly 3rd door on it and tried o convince me I wanted it.
When that didn't work they badge engineered an Opal and tried to convince me I wanted it. Didn't work again, why again, not the first time a badge engineered Opal was sold.
None of them satisfied me the way my Saturn did. Now gone.
I did my part, I bought because I liked it, I kept it because I still did.
I also own 5 AMC cars.
I never could follow a trend worth a darn.
