what is sad is that the auto companys did it to themselves with a lot of help from the unions. they ignored the fact that people wanted to have more efficient vehicles and continued to make the gas guzzelers inspite of ourselves. the unions fought for higher wages and benefits and people not working getting paid. the saturn was a great idea and started as a basic no frills car made with a lot of plastic. now they are making them of metal and basing them on the same frame base as other cars of the same size.
corporate jets and huge executive salarys were one of the dumbest things i have seen but seems to be the norm for many in the business world.
all that i know who have a saturn are very happy with them and the designs are as good as any made, plus they are cheaper to purchase.
there has to be a bail out as much as i hate to say it to keep people working and putting money into the economy. if we the tax payer are going to foot the bill for this, there had better be some restraints and oversites on these companys stating with the banking system that is not using the money (ours) for what it was ment to be.
