minus-squaredavidgro@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·7 days agoI had a Saturn which was a really nice car except for all that stuff under the hood. Maybe have an EV company buy the branding from it.
minus-squareCmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up6·6 days agoPerhaps the ex-Saturn engineers can form a new car company called Uranus. The slogan could be “Uranus: everyone’s hopping in”
minus-squaredavidgro@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·4 days agoThere’s so much possibility. “We’re back” “Coming from behind” “Looking behind to move forward” Etc.
minus-squareMrWrinkles@leminal.spacelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·7 days agoI had an Ion, 5speed manual, no power windows and I loved it. The only thing that broke on it in 6 years/90k miles, was the driver door latch.
minus-squaredavidgro@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·7 days agoMy Aura had the brakes go bad, and after putting a ton of money into fixing it, the transmission (Automatic) failed. It technically still was drivable (I found a way to force it to shift) so I was able to sell it to one of those online car buying sites.
minus-squareMrWrinkles@leminal.spacelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·7 days agoOh snap. No good at all. I believe the Aura and Astra were rebadged Opals. I was considering an Aura. I was going to replace the badges lol.
