I have been with Saturn at the retail level for almost 16 years and I can tell you the warm and fuzzy is gone. We are nothing more than another GM nameplate. I can tell you it's hard for those us who trained and lived the "Saturn Values" everyday when we showed up to work. Those of us, out of loyalty, who have stuck it out are becoming more discouraged as the days go on. I think the real danger for Saturn is when the core employees from the original Saturn network are gone. What are you left with then? Nothing more than steel and plastic. Guess what, there are a lot of companies that do steel and plastic better than GM.....
I hope this post doesn't sound like I am bitter. I am not. I will be fine no matter what happens to Saturn or GM. It's just tough to see the dream die.
The dealer group I work for recently sold the market area to another dealer group. Take it for what it's worth-
