We made the news last night in Detroit. During a bus tour on the Rust Belt Ramble Lemons Rally last night several teams went to GM HQ to protest and demand they bring back Saturn. We were not off the buses very long before the news showed up. I am in the background of a couple shots. My sign said "Make S-series. Not CUVs"
Only if "bring back Saturn" they bring back the Saturn from 1995-ish, not 2005-ish. At that point Saturn had been reduced to "European Geo", and killing Saturn was more like euthanizing a beloved yet suffering pet that had been riddled with twelve kinds of cancer.
In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :
What? Are you trying to imply that GM was guilty of badge engineering?
I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!
So there was a protest to demand a company make a product so that you can buy them used for cheap.
Good that it made the news, but having as a LeMons protest was very appropriate.
Dang, I thought this was going to be about someone protesting someone else's car on grounds of...something, because nothing's really illegal per rally rules right? "Your car is too new and not hooptie enough for this fun non-racing event!" lol that would have been funny :D
We had the chants going at the Concours today too.
Finally a protest I can actually support.
I think your heartstrings betray you but good effort.
Jalopnik did an article on it. Now I wish I had pushed my way in front of the camera with stories about the giant POS SW2 we had!
As someone who spent a lot of his childhood in the backseat of a first-gen S Series, you have my support.
I'd probably end up being a little too willing to spend my money on a Saturn if they did return.
I realize not everyone thinks this is as funny as I do, but the "protest" coverage continues on Truth About Cars
My wife made the background in the lead photo!
On the contrary. I think this may be one of the funniest things of the year! Absolutely hilarious and well done to the lot of ya.
Bring back America's company and bring back America! Saturn!
