    I 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.

      Perhaps the ex-Saturn engineers can form a new car company called Uranus. The slogan could be “Uranus: everyone’s hopping in”

        There’s so much possibility.

        “We’re back”

        “Coming from behind”

        “Looking behind to move forward”

        Etc.

      I 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.

        My 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.

          Oh 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.
