I'm fairly certain I'm not the only one making astronomical jokes about the failure that is the Saturn company.  This isn't a complaint about their cars reliability, looks, or even pricing, just about the company itself.  Why should a company like Saturn be kept around by a conglomerate like GM, when it has been losing money since day 1?  Let bad ideas die and concentrate elsewhere.

Dust under the mat eventually create one demonic dust bunny.  In this case, bailed out GM can no longer justify keeping a failing company artificially afloat.  "A Different Kind of Company", that produced a very mundane vehicle line up.

So much for Saturn Astra sparking enough sales in the movie Transformers 2.  This will most likely be the very last entry in the Saturn category.  Fine by me, Saturn never made news enough to write about anything anyway.

It looks like Saturn is trying to make a publicity push by having the Astra appear in the live action movie Transformers 2. There is not a whole lot of information available about the new Transformer movie, let alone the Saturn Astra, that's been seen with Shia LaBeouf behind the wheel.

No, we do not know if the Saturn Astra will be a Transformer or not, but it's still good advertising to a younger crowd for Saturn.

New in 2008 is the high tech Saturn Astra, a European styled car brought to the US. It's being branded as a premium compact car, probably to justify the higher price tag. Also unique to an American car is that it's only available in a single engine configuration trim, a 4cyl, but like other European cars it makes up in suspension where it lacks in power. Go figure.
