The End of Saturn in Canada
However, with only 12 000 cars sold in 2008, keeping Saturns on the market in Canada is no longer a priority.
Saturn dealerships have until the end of the year to sell their inventory, which could mean the loss of 2 000 jobs.
One ray of hope for Saturn Canada would be for Magna to purchase Opel, then use that network to distribute Saturns in North America. But given the state of affairs at GM, that outcome is not very likely.
As for Saturn owners, servicing should be taken over by another GM subsidiary. People who wish to buy a Saturn can expect to find nice discounts.
