It's got TV ads in Canada, not on the same level as Mazda does but Saturn doesn't nearly have the dealer network Mazda is benefiting from, either.

Doesn't exactly seem to be getting people in Saturn's showrooms... But I don't think that's the problem, they've been receiving a pretty damn sweet sales boost since they introduction of the new models (not to mention the Astra has been praised by most journalists). I think pricing is the problem here.
